Any tropical fruit enthusiasts out there?

  Would anyone know of the germination requirements for Morinda citrifolia,
(Indian Mulberry, Noni).  It's supposed to be easy to grow, but all our
attempts to get it to germinate have failed.  We have tried seeding in
peat-lite mixes and in petri dishes, as well as scarification, opening the
seed coat, and soaking in gibberellic acid and in KNO3.

  We have no knowledge of or interest in the healing qualities of this
plant, but would just like to get it to germinate.

  Thanks for any advice,
