- Properly stored seed can remain viable for decades.
- Seed from white spruce, black spruce, jack pine, and red pine has germinated between 65% and 85% after more than 40 years in frozen storage.
- Seed cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen may have the potential to retain viability for several hundred years.
- It is important to know that seed will live for a long time, especially when it is collected from unique populations or stands that are threatened, so it can be conserved for the future.

What will happen in mongo seeds planted in tissue paper?
If mongo seeds are planted in tissue paper, they are unlikely to germinate and grow successfully. Tissue paper does not provide the necessary nutrients, support, or moisture retention for seeds to sprout and develop into healthy plants. It is best to plant mongo seeds in a suitable potting mix or soil that can provide the optimal conditions for germination and growth.
What will happen if you sprinkle water on an open box of dry bean seeds?
If you sprinkle water on an open box of dry bean seeds, the seeds will start to absorb the water through a process called imbibition. This will trigger the germination process, where the seeds will begin to sprout and grow into seedlings. The water will provide the necessary hydration for the seeds to activate their enzymes and start breaking down stored nutrients for growth. It is important to continue watering the seeds regularly to support their growth into healthy plants.
Does large seeds germinate faster than small seeds?
As a general rule, light-sensitive germination is more pronounced in small seeds compared with large seeds. This is because smaller seeds have smaller food reserves in comparison to larger seeds. As the seedling is growing underground, it has no access to sunlight, so instead of using photosynthesis to produce food, the germinating seedling must use the food reserves in its seed to supply itself with enough energy to continue growing. Because the food reserve is very limited due to the small storage available in the small seed, the seedling must grow quickly and sprout out of the ground as fast as possible to gain access to the sun before it runs out of food. Meanwhile, larger seeds have much more food stored in their seeds, meaning they can take their time when growing. This is why small seeds germinate faster than larger seeds.
