Abstract

Fresh seed of Tamarix pentandra Pall. germinated at 36 to 132 F., freely at 66 to 110 F. Seed stored at the same relative humidity maintained viability best at low temperatures. Viability of seed stored at a low relative humidity continued high for 6 months over a wide range of temperature, but viability was reduced within 15 days by relative humidity of 90–95%.
