Key Points

After 35 years, slash pine seeds showed a germination rate of 82%, highlighting their long-term viability.
Shortleaf pine seeds germinated at a rate of 50% after the same storage period, suggesting significant preservation.
Seeds stored in cold, dry conditions maintained their viability, which is crucial for forestry conservation efforts.
The findings provide insights into the longevity of these pine species, aiding forestry management in reforestation strategies.
