What do you call vegetables that are grown from seeds that are old. These seeds may be 100 years old.?

Answer 1

Is it possible to grow veggies from seeds that old? Seems to me they would have dried out & not be viable any longer. I know there are rose fanciers who travel out to old settlements & ghost towns to look for breeds of roses that are very old - they got taken along when they moved during the Westward movement - some are even from Europe & haven't been seen in decades. They can grow those from clippings. I guess you need to see if the seeds
are still viable - plant them in peat pots & if nothing sprouts then I guess the seeds are dead. Good luck - that's pretty cool!!!

Answer 2

This is in fact very rare, but some scientists managed to do it, as you can see in my first source link, with some 200 year old legumes.

The second link is regarding the growth of a date palm tree, about 2000 years old

The third link is of a Lotus plant, blossoming after being in seed form for 500 years

Answer 3

If it comes out of the ground a carrot, then it's called a carrot. If it comes out a cucumber, it's called a cucumber. Just apply that formula to each one, and you'll have the correct names of your vegatables.

Answer 4

vegetables.
