Thanks Luna, I never knew you could eat it, but I suppose common sense
should tell us that it has a fair bit of protein. Well, you learn

new every day !

I need to save pollen from Eriobotrya japonica that flowers here in the
Autumn/Winter, and keep it viable so that I can try to fertilize another
plant
of the same genus that blooms in June/July. O.K., it's just a little
experiment,
and only for the fun of it, but I would hope to give myself the best
possible chance of success. I just want to see what kind of seedlings
might result from the cross.

Tim,

I'm no pollen expert, but one of my colleagues is. I
posed your question to him and he says that while the answer is extremely
species-specific, people have had success storing dessicated lilly pollen at
-80o for extended periods of time. Hope this works for
you.

Hi All, can anyone advise me on the best way to store pollen for up to 1
year, and keep it viable. Please.

hi there,
i would like to ask the effect of the different colors of cellophane like red, blue, green, yellow, and white on a bean seed.
thanks
