Collection date, cone-storage period affect southern pine seed yields, viability

When slash, loblolly, and longleaf cones were collected over a wide range of dates and stored at air temperature, 5 weeks of storage gave higher seed yields than 1 week. Yields also increased from the earliest to the latest collection. Cone storage for 5 weeks increased germination of slash from all collections and decreased germination of longleaf from early collections.
