Baptisia pollen

20 years ago

I am wanting to cross a fall flowering Baptisia with its other spring flowering cousins, but have no detailed information on the storage protocols and pollen viability over time for Baptisias. Has anyone had experience with storing any pollen in the Bean Family?

I have seen this information in literature before but I don't recall the exact source.

You will likely need access to a Ag library (or through interlibrary loan). I found lots of information in older journals pre-1950.
