Abstract

Ripe seeds of Cordia alliodora can be safely collected from 3 weeks on before they naturally fall from the tree. Viability of seeds of Cordia alliodora decreases rapidly if not properly dried and stored at low temperatures. In sealed flasks at 5°C at 12% or 18% moisture content, viability decreased 50% in one year.
