Dear Brad
It is great to hear that AG pollen will keep over year.
I understand blackberry pollen can be stored many years at -5C and 10
to 20% humidity.
Are the conditions similar for AG pollen?
At room temperature, my corn pollen was infertile after 48 hours and
the corn group at Indiana University told me 24 hours. I wanted it to
die so I could reuse the tassel bags.
Do you take any precautions to maintain humitity or does a home
freezer serve without special effor?
