Externet Posted December 8 Posted December 8 Greetings. Human and animal eggs and sperm are routinely frozen for preservation; and read something about fertilized embryos getting the same treatment. What about plants ? Is there a way ? Can a germinated young plant, or perhaps a grown one, be preserved until a future planting/growing season ? Can annual plants be preserved/suspended from winter death until much later to continue their growth, other than greenhouses * ? I know seed banks keep thousands of varieties frozen for any future needs, but are those non-germinated seeds embryos ? This thread triggered from the uncertainty from a seed to germinate. I see there is no way to assure success to germinate a seed even by the most expert 'green thumbs' * Would an annual plant dying by winter season continue to thrive if transplanted to a tropical weather, or there would be a collision with its genetics from unexpected weather ?
Externet Posted Friday at 05:18 PM Author Posted Friday at 05:18 PM Today, found unexpectedly something of this elusive subject by total chance on television. Freezing apple tree branches seems to be happening among other already known things. Only at time stamp 18:20 ---> https://www.americasheartland.org/watch/season-13/?episode=1301- Posting the finding if anyone is interested.
