Grewia seed germination

Hi all,

Is anyone able to offer advice about conditions and treatment required
for the germination of Grewia seeds?  Specifically, Grewia occidentalis,
which I believe may be grown in North America, probably in the south 
(indigenous to Africa).  I didn't have much luck with the first lot I tried -
autumn harvested, spring sown.

Perhaps someone has more general advice for pip-like seeds?  The fruit
is a thin fleshy layer, dried when ripe (hence the common name
variations on 'raisin'), and it contains a woody pip or nut about the size of
a cherry pip.  Does one generally need to soak such seeds?  How?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Martin
