Down here in San Diego area, they seed themelves with no problem.
Seedlings seem to sprout in the litter of the "parent" tree,  so I'd

damp.  See what happens!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
