    Dunno, mate, its not something I've tried.
    Bearing in mind I'd probably really struggle to rear any resulting seed, it doesn't seem worth it.:smile:

      If any seed pods form. That's the only way.

      I agree. Here's a useful video that may help though...............

      Thanks for the answers, I thought I would give it a go for fun, I tried once before but they just fell off.
