Melia azedarach

I recently received some seeds of 'China Berry'.An American friend
identified it for me thus:-

 " China Berry is Melia azedarach, hardy from US zone 7 south.  Weak wood,
short lived,
ultra-traditional dooryard tree of the Old South--says Dixie every bit as
much as Moonshine, Magnolias, Fast Horses, Pretty Women, and a Hound Dog
Under the Porch. "

I am told the fruit is a yellow berry; I was sent what I thought at first to
be large seeds, but on closer inspection each of these encloses 4 black
seeds.The seeds are difficult to remove without squashing them.Can anyone
tell me how  to free these seeds and the best method of germination? 
Thankyou.
