How long can a bonsai seed be kept to be viable ?

This is the only viable answer.You will need to search for viability of each individual species to determine how long each type will last.
let hope they get here ( I have my fingers and toes crossed )Hopefully you will as well with the ones I sent you and they won't take years to get to you!
Sorry forgive my english I meant seed used for growing bonsai treesWhat are bonsai seeds?
The same problem is in this re-statement--there are no specific seeds used to grow bonsai. Just seeds that grow "regular" trees. Bonsai is a way of cultivating a tree, not a specific kind of tree species.Sorry forgive my english I meant seed used for growing bonsai trees
Thanks for correcting me .

Sorry. Didn't mean to come off as correcting. It's just a common persistent myth that bonsai are special plants grown from special seeds.Thanks for correcting me . That's the problem when you speak two languages and know a third language ( partially )
Sounds very interesting! Which species do you have e experience with in the freezer for 10 years?I do freezer storage and after 10 years most species have a 2% drop in germination.
Mostly herbaceous plants, because I haven't been doing bonsai for 10 years. But my scots and japanese red pine seem to last at least 3 years without any drops in germination.Sounds very interesting! Which species do you have e experience with in the freezer for 10 years?
Some specimens require immediate sowing or they go sterile.My BRT seed from @Clicio spent two years in the mail and were still viable.
