My Wolfberry seeds came separated out and I still think the germination rate 
was 100%!  And mine didn't die from anything: cold, drought, pots, neglect in 
the house, no damping off or that other weird red shriveled root thing that 
some of my apples/pears/stone fruits have gotten (mostly inside in crowded 
pots).  I pulled out a few that showed some frost damage after our 6" snow in 
June when they were mostly leafed out, mostly because I have so many I can 
cull ruthlessly.
