Cottonwood and Aspen seed lots were cleaned above a 95% purity, provided to client with seed lot report including a germination test results.
The Nupqu Native Plant team received Cottonwood and Aspen catkins from the Osoyoos Indian Band in the spring of 2024 for cleaning. The cleaning team extracted the seed and cleaned it to the highest possible purity while maintaining an optimal germ rate. The team was pleased to report back to the Osoyoos Indian Band, a significant capture of seed in their seed lots, of 95%+ purity and excellent germination rates. The Nupqu Team is grateful for the opportunity and positive experience.
