Let's not even start on the ability of acorns and the like to sprout after several months' soak in seawater.....

Re: Trees can replicate without germination
Cut the root into two- or three-inch pieces. Each piece will become a duplicate of the parent plant.
I notice, Charley, how they recommend always soaking the cuttings in water for five months...........

Re: Trees can replicate without germination
Why not take a wide variety of plant seeds and some plant cuttings and swirl them around in salty water for several months
I read once that this experiment was conducted by Charles Darwin himself. No idea where it was reported, though.
