2012 SEED EXCHANGE
POLLEN-TO-SEED PROGRAM

 

Program Description:
The Seed Exchange (Exchange) will pay up to $50 (US) either to the Rhododendron Species Foundation (RSF) directly1 or will pay whatever arrangements Exchange contributors need to make in order to obtain pollen.  Contributors can make arrangements on their own with whomever they chose for them to receive pollen they deem desirable to use in making crosses; in such cases the Exchange will send contributors a check to reimburse their expenses.  All 2004 - 2011 Exchange contributors are eligible to participate.

If seed should be produced (the Exchange acknowledges that seed may not be produced in some cases and if so, no problem) the Exchange expects to receive seed produced from crosses using these pollens within 2 - 4 years of receipt of pollen.  The Exchange suggests contributors should pollinate sufficient stigmas so as to produce at least 1000 seeds, with the intent that the Exchange will be able to package more seed in each packet consequently allowing for more seedlings to be grown.  The Exchange is looking forward to extensive use of this program.

1 The Exchange has submitted a list of seed contributors eligible to receive pollen to RSF (see list below).  Contributors only need to order pollen from the RSF and the RSF will send pollen directly to them.  The bill for pollen payment will come to the Exchange.  This arrangement should make ordering of pollen especially easy for overseas members, as no currency exchange is required.  Contributors will receive the RSF member rate when purchasing pollen.
