I want to take a survey on the oldest seeds you have ever sprouted. The ones shown here are Sophora secundifolia, sown June '08 and I have had them 5 years. I am enclosing a picture of some seeds I have that I got in 1996: Cassia species: Tenarife, Spain. The picture clearly shows that the seeds swelled up after being nicked & soaked overnight. Will try to show them if they grow. They did sink in the water after being nicked & I am assuming they are viable. Since they swelled up, I am almost positive they are viable. Would love to see what other old seeds others have successfully sown. Thanks. Buttoneer
