Bristlecone pine reproduction is intriguing--their seeds are more unaffected by the age of the tree:
"Seed germinability was not significantly correlated with tree age (r²=0.087); at ~4,713 years of age, the Methuselah tree produced the most viable seeds (µ=85% germination) in the study."

I missed this when it came out last year.
I'm wondering if seed balls are an unnecessary step and we should just broadcast seed directly?
Viability of seed balls for large-scale restoration of native plant communities in New Zealand.

Intriguing. An old technique, used for decades to check viability/germinability of ash - we used to call it the excised embryo test. Wonder how they get around the physiological dwarfing that tends to persist in sprouted embryos without the necessary stratification cycles?
