Breeding for seed

[axxxxe]

Has anyone ever heard of a seed bank that sells male pollen or any other place to purchase pollen. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

nope, doubtful anyone would market pollen, unless some new method of long-term storage, came to be ... :smokin:

There was a seed bank in Holland that sold pollen in the early '80s, I did bussiness with them in person and via mail for a bunch of years. I think they went out of bussiness in '85 or '86. I haven't seen or heard of anyone since then.

I think it might be more a case of no demand rather then keeping it viable, tho I must admit I am not sure how long pollen can last. I kept mine in the pkg it came in, 3x5 glassine envelopes. Kept mine in a plastic recipe file, in a cool dry place. Some lasted abt 5 years I think.
