My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Does the "float test" apply to all types of seeds?

3 years ago

I would like to know more about the "float test". I just received an order of Eastern White Pine tree seeds. The directions said to place in water for 24 hours. In doing so, none of my seeds sunk though. I was under the impression that viable seeds should sink.


Does this apply to both pine & maple tree seeds? Can someone please shed some light on this?
