9 cells, 9 sprouts. Two cells didn't pop but I got 2 with doubles. I don't remember how many seeds I had, either 12 or 15 not enough for two each. I found a comment here saying just pour boiling water (first leave it off heat for like 30 seconds to cool down a little before pouring), soak 24h, then sow. No cold stratification and no mechanical scarification. And it worked! They're real slow growers but the tap roots were already hitting the bottom of my cells

The heat likely mimics fire they’d experience in the wild. Just enough to cause the chemical reactions.
If I have a kettle that can do 1F temp increments.
What temp would be best? I can do 200f?
And did you scrape/scarify them beforehand?
Unrelated but I have good success with nj tea and hibiscus moscheutos using the same method
