    Give her the old college try. Either they sink or swim and sprout or not. Just cross your fingers haha

    anything between 0 and 70% is realistic. I did a little germination test this year with some 10+ years old bag seeds I found at the bottom of a drawer, 8/10. It’s just surprising, almost like seeds are made to preserve the life in them for a long time 😉

    I’d say your chances are better than the guy with no seeds at all. Pop’em and see !

    try a solution of 1% hydrogen peroxide and water, if there are any viable seeds they will pop.

    Another thought: you could sand them. after decades in dry heat I’d expect the shells to be very desiccated and hardened. BUT I’ve never done this myself so who knows?

    this excellent guy shows it in under a minute, I’ve put a time stamp in:

    if you have plenty of seeds I’d do something like this: some just in water, some in water with H2O2, some sanded in water, some sanded in water with H2O2

    I’m definitely on team “fingers crossed” here 🤞

    I’d love to hear if you have any luck and if so what you do.

    I have some old seeds I inherited from a loved one that passed, also not stored under ideal conditions, and have yet to get anything to pop.

    Hope you have some luck!
