Saving abutilon pollen?

| Hi,
Is there a way to save abutilon pollen to be used for crossing? If so how long would it be viable for?
Thank you :-)

| The last section of this USDA PDF document states that desiccation-tolerant types of pollen can be stored for 2 years at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but those that are not desiccation-tolerant are expected to only last from a few hours to a few days. Not sure which category Abutilon or other Malvaceae pollen fall into. Most of the document is about seed storage. |
