pollen sources?

[WashougalWonder]

Pollen is viable for years if it is dried and stored properly.

I have been told otherwise...actually I have been told both.

Just recently I took some 2 year old pollen and tried to fert one in flower. It came out yesterday. After it is cured I will look more closely for seeds, but for now, it does not look so good. The pollen was in a cool dry airtight dark place for over a year, maybe two.
