Content: Properly dried pods should snap in two when you bend them. If they don't, they're not dry enough. Wetting or washing pods increases the chances of fungal growth. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/99\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/99\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-3.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Scarify your seeds prior to planting. Scarification is the process of removing the coat off of your seeds, which allows moisture and oxygen into their embryos. This process mimics the natural process a seed would experience traveling through an animal's gut before being expelled. Use sandpaper or a small file to knick the seed coat. Afterward, put your seeds in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks before planting to mimic the process of stratification. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e8\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e8\/Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg\/aid9911060-v4-728px-Plant-a-Mesquite-Tree-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License:
