Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - seeds ever come up? How?

Hi - my neighbor has a huge YTT bush and I got seeds from it last year to try and grow - nothing would come up. I tried putting them in the freezer first, in the fridge first, soaking them first, not soaking, not freezing, planting the whole seed pod . . .. What is the secret to getting these guys to come up? Has anyone had any success with them?

If you have grown YTT from seed - please share . ..

Thanks!

From the lack of response, does that mean no one has tried growing them from seeds or no one has had any success with it .. .??

I have had this bush for several years and it produces a lot of seeds but the only success I've had in reproduceing the plant is in cuttings.....may be because I like to do cuttings also....just take old wood and dip it in rooting harmone and keep moist and in the shade. The are slow to root but you can do it.
