Has anyone had any luck germinating these? I've seen several posts saying they had trouble, and I'm 0 for 4. 100% on every other seed.

Batcave Nat8 was able to germinate some 307's for me. No luck on the 245's here though.

I should have specified, I've been trying 245's. I've got my last 2 in the incubator now, hope I don't end up 0-6

1/4 on 245, 0/2 on 307. one of the other 245s eventually sprouted, but the seed leaves rotted inside the shell. looks like a lot of the seed shells weren't filled out inside.

for new seeds the results are pretty bad. I wonder why ? Are they not developed as Andy said ? Strange...

I have two 326's growing on a short row with a 196 Barber and a 239 Zurner plus I have two 245's growing on a short row with two 154 Sweets. All of my plants have struggled to survive in the cold this spring. Assuming some of the Bartoli plants will survive, I plan to share pollen with growers wanting to use those plants as pollinators.
