Seeds of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) belong to the orthodox category, because they can be desiccated to a low level of moisture content and be stored at low temperature without damage. Here we present original results of germination tests and observations of seedling development after storage of seeds for the first 17 years at –5 °C to –6 °C, followed by 12 years at –3 °C, in total for 29 years at subfreezing temperatures. We also investigated cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen at –196 °C, as an alternative method of seed storage. Before cryopreservation, seeds were desiccated to a moisture content of 3 or 6%. After 2-year storage in liquid nitrogen, their germination course and development of seedlings did not differ from thos...
