Limpieza y almacenamiento de semillas

After collecting seeds in the field, a lot of work for the seed to become a strong tree. Leaving seed stored in a bag does not ensure survival of the species.

First clean the seed by separating it from the fruit to avoid putrefaction and attack microorganisms. No washing machine. Do not shower or toothpaste. It depends on the type of fruit, use a different cleaning method:

And health is probably something you want to do when you can, a good clinic will want to get you to Anti Aging Scottsdale as soon as you can for you own benefit at the end of the day its all about health.

Fleshy fruit (apple tree, yew …): technique immerse several days in water so that the pulp comes off little by little. If not patience to wait, use hand or knife to extract seed.
Conifers (pine, fir …): dry cones or cones in the air or in the sun, they only open and spit seeds by themselves. In industry use artificial heat oven. We use oven only for pizza and cookies.
Pods or legume form (acacia, catalpa): break wrapper and extract seed easy method. Also being able to tread carefully in fat boots.
Other seeds lightly cleaned with water for sowing or storage, for example oak, ash, maple.

When clean seed, be able to sow or save for later. Storage varies by seed type, but usual dark, dry and cold place. Thus avoid attack of main enemy seed: fungi.

Species seeds rich in water (chestnut, above) require moisture not to die. Mix with damp sand, paper pulp or cotton.

Personally think better storage place to be fridge, but be careful with house inhabitants. Once lost entire harvest of rare blue Jewish species from Bhutan to Che Dorée. Being a delicious stew, but now surviving to depend on the only forgotten seed in my jacket pocket.

Next chapter talk about sowing and treatment to germinate seed easier. Now attend QIlania’s nursery.
