I don't think it is as Hard as it seems, you just need to be patient from what I can tell from numerous accounts sprinkled around the web. Some people have found various fruit seeds (including Orange) germinating in the compost heap (near the top, where there isn't enough heat to kill them) And others have just whacked the seeds in some wet sand (peeled the seeds first) http://www.responseprojects.org.uk/homework/april_diary.htm Some good instructions can be found for oranges, and others At the following websites: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/plantbio/1996-March/010128.html http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9704 (above link suggests a good method involving a plastic bottle) http://www.growingedge.com/community/archive/read.php3?c=PR&q=1055 (this link suggests Orange and other fruit seeds would benefit from warm moist environment, like that of a plastic bottle treatment) http://www.growingedge.com/community/archive/read.php3?c=PR&q=1055 (Some more very good advice) I think that about covers it! Wow, I feel like growing some seeds of my own now ^_^ Have fun!

Orange seeds are one of the easiest fruits to grow. I place the seeds between damp paper towels and that makes the seeds outer layer very soft after about 1 day. Peel off the outer light colored layer and then just plant your seed in good soil mix or soil-less mix, works too. Plant it about two depths of the seed. Keep damp and wait. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks for it to germinate.
