seeds from the usda National Clonal Germplasm Repository (COR)

seeds from the usda National Clonal Germplasm Repository (COR), approved my request for a few native currant and gooseberry species, thankful because I'm building a collection and some are hard to find, and even then takes time to grow them out and ID. these are from carefully documented sources in their gene bank essentially. excited for such a small seedling, in some cases this seed was over ten years old and I only have 5 of them to germinate. amazed to see germination rates quite good. I find a good place to do this is under the greenhouse bench, it stays humid and in the shade.
