How do I germinate Allspice to grow trees?

Answer 1

I think it has been dried to death by the processor of packaging it. I don't think it is viable by the time you buy it as a whole spice.

Here are cultivation directions. Amazon sells the seeds to use as your starting point. See link below.

Allspice is propagated through seeds, which are collected from fruits of high yielding trees. Fruits are soaked overnight in water, rubbed and seeds are extracted. The seeds are sown in nursery beds, pots or basins. To enhance germination, the beds are mulched with dried leaves, straw, paper or gunny bags. Seeds germinate by 9-15 days. Allspice can be propagated vegetatively by grafting, budding, approach grafting and top working. Tissue culture methods are also employed for their propagation. Six to ten -months old seedlings are ideal for field planting. They are planted at a spacing of 6m x 6m or even closer. Three seedlings are planted inn a single hole of 60cm3 size. The female and male plant ratio in a garden should be 8:1 to ensure good pollination. Shade and regular irrigation should be provided at young stage of the plants. Manuring, weeding and mulching should be undertaken at regular intervals. Necessary plant protection measures should be adopted if incidence of tea mosquito (Heliopeltis antonii), leaf spot caused by Cylindrocladium quinqueseptatum or leaf rot by Pestalotiopsis are noticed.
