Any tips on where to find viable Erythoxylum Novogranatense seeds?

They do seem to be difficult to find. I understand they can dry out fairly quickly and many growers use cuttings rather than seed. However, I'm sure there must be a reliable vendor out there somewhere. If It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could DM me or message here any tips. I will be in your debt!

Fresh, viable seeds?

hey all. just wondering if anyone here has any fresh seeds that they are interested in selling?

over the past year I've noticed many of the seeds I've been getting have been.... finicky, duds, or runts. I havent changed my germination method, so i'm assuming maybe i'm just getting old seeds? honestly i'm getting tired of *hoping* for viable seeds from seedbanks. id rather be getting seeds that are fresh and germinate *STRONG*

in any case, i figured i'd ask in a sub like this if anyone knows where i can purchase FRESH seeds.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :}

Eight-year-old white ash seeds still viable?

While cleaning out my things, I found a couple of forgotten jars full of white ash seeds that I collected in 2013 when the EAB was exploding in my area.

Now most of the ash trees here are dead, borer populations have collapsed, and biocontrols are present so I suspect that any ash trees that begin growing to maturity now will have better prospects for long-term survival. I’d like to try planting these now and see if I can reintroduce this species to our forest here.

The seeds were stored dry under ambient conditions (room temperature indoors) in cork-stoppered glass jars. There are no signs of mold growth or other decay.

Going to start cold-stratifying them in my fridge. I wonder if I can expect any of them to still be viable at this point.

I'm currently looking for some solid Warlock wild decks, but I'm dogshit at actual deck building and kinda broke in terms of dust so I can't experiment with my decks much.

So I'm wondering; what are some decent Warlock decks for wild that would be worth crafting.

Edit: is discardlock still worth it? Or the soul fragment based build maybe?
