Storage and shelf life of Citrus Seeds?
« on: December 17, 2016, 10:16:17 PM »
Im collecting citrus seeds and am wondering what if any is the best method to save/store them?. Also curious how long they can remain viable?

Dry overnight, dust with fungicide, store in zip lock bag in refrigerator. Will last one year at least.
I've done it this way for years. BTW if it is trifoliate orange seeds plant them now as they won't freeze.

Ill start using this method. Thank you Mr Texas.

I had been just putting them in  mason jars with holes in the lids to breath.
