Howdy All -

I have a few Diospyros seeds (both americana and kaki) that are germinating in some pots in my house. They have actually sent some roots down and are poking their seeds up into the air -- but the cotyledons have not been able to emerge because they seem to be stuck inside the shell. 

Should I remove the shell and free the cotyledons??? Or just let the seed figure itself out?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Ethan
