i have some males that i had pulled a week and a half ago i put them in a tupperware forgot about them almost. oppened it a few days ago and i have some still in tupperware and some out and drying do u guys think the pollen is still good?
 
the pollen is still very viable and stays that way for several months minimum. if you are storing it in tuperware it will remain viable longer.
 
Not sure if this pollen is still good cuz right after i chopped the males i put them into the tupperware and its been in my car for a week and a half getting baked in the sun. I just read in a book that heat kills pollen. Ill still put some on the bottom branches and hope for the best.
 
heat and moisture are bad for pollen, i doubt the entire batch is viable, but im sure some of it is, and you only need the smallest amount for a million seeds.
