Seed provenancing is a seed-sourcing strategy that focuses on the geographic location of seed sources, in the context of ecological restoration and forestry. Seed provenance refers to the geographic location of a parent plant from which seeds were collected. The genetic material of seed differs between collection locations. [1]
The tree produces spiky green fruits about the size of a golf ball, which turn brown and drop off the tree over an extended period beginning in fall and continuing over the winter.
It can reach about 30 centimetres (12 inches) long, and weigh up to 18 kilograms (40 pounds). The coco de mer, which produces a giant, dark brown seed, [4] has been protected by the government of the Seychelles because of its rarity [5] – the tree can grow up to 31 m (102 ft) tall, with leaves measuring 6 m (20 ft) long and 3.6 m (12 ft) wide.

In agriculture and gardening, seed saving (sometimes known as brown bagging) [1] is the practice of saving seeds or other reproductive material (e.g. tubers, scions, cuttings) from vegetables, grain, herbs, and flowers for use from year to year for annuals and nuts, tree fruits, and berries for perennials and trees.

Mature tree. Brosimum alicastrum can be monoecious, dioecious or hermaphroditic, changing from female to male as they age. Birds and bats are responsible for the dispersion of the seeds. [1] A tree can produce 150–180 kilograms (330–400 lb) of fruits per year. It stays productive for 120–150 years. [2]
This is a dioecious species, with male and female cones on separate trees. [6] The cones are globose, 6–8 mm in diameter, opening flat to 12 mm across, with nine scales in three whorls of three. Only the central whorl of scales is fertile, bearing 2–3 seeds on each scale; the lower and upper whorls are small and sterile. The seeds are 2–3 ...
