Are there any other varieties nearby that were in the male flower stage when this one is the female stage? Go ahead and plant it right away, don’t let it dry out, the chances of it actually germinating are quite low, but there is always a chance, and if anything comes from it, it would be a new variety.
Gabe - There are several other mats of different varieties close. I will plant and see what happens..
Thanks
