Suitable for storage of recalcitrant seeds for a few months over winter. Seeds may be stored in heaps on the ground, in shallow pits in well-drained soils or in layers in well ventilated sheds, often covered or mixed with leaves, moist sand, peat or other porous materials (Holmes and Buszewicz 1958, Magini 1962).n some cases the seeds can be despatched in the same containers in which they were stored. In others it may be advisable to transfer them from a large container in storage to a smaller container for despatch. Individual nurseries may require only a small quantity of a given seed lot.
Forget cryopreservation â hot and dry conditions might be all you need to awake far into the future. A date palm seed some 2000 years old â preserved by nothing more than storage in hot and dry conditions â has germinated, making it the oldest seed in the world to do so. The ancient seed was found along with several others in the 1960s in the Masada fortress on the edge of the Dead Sea in Israel.
