Floating/Sinking seeds?
Can anyone answer the question to, why do some seeds float and some seeds sink when soaking in water?

While in some isolated cases it might be true that floaters indicate a seed without a embryo. |

Re: Floating/Sinking seeds?
Section Callimusa seeds do float naturally, whether viable or not. Generally if seeds float, it means they are no good, but it's not always the case.
