Decarya madagascariensis self fertile? Seed germination tips?


My D. madagascariensis flowered this past summer and i recently discovered it produced what look like fruit. I went through the sisyphean task of collecting and cleaning each seed and im now trying to get some to germinate.

Does anyone have experience growing these from seed? Are these even viable? I didnt think the species was self fertile but i have a batch of what look like good seed. If so, does anyone know of any special growing conditions it needs? Im starting off with trying to germinate a few in standard cacti germination conditions (i.e. very moist closed envrionement, warm, lots of light). Thanks!

    They are self fertile, that’s awesome. I’m surprised it’s so hard to come by if it is really self fertile
