*Actually expressly covers NE NSW and SE. Qld species not evenly covering Au wide rainforest species seeds, for example missing most species from NE Qld.
Experiences from NE NSW of species with seeds which this book says can stay viable in long term storage in NE. NSW conditions, eg. 6—12—24—36 months, etc.:

Regarding all of the rest of this book’s 300 species, it says to grow seedlings and store them as seedlings in a nutrient poor seed raising potting mix to keep them slow growing and small, until needed then fertilise them and water them more: (At this ## many months storage in NE NSW experiences):
Out of the 300 spp. in this book, only 33 spp. can stay viable in long term storage in NE. NSW conditions, eg. 6—12—24—36 months, etc. .
Again the rest, 267 spp. should get sown and germinated into seedlings and stored as seedlings en masse in seedling trays containing low nutrient seed raising potting mix to keep them slow growing and small until needed,
then fertilise them up, water them up and pot them up to grow them up individually in separate pots readying them for planting.
