Any thoughts?

I know a bit about plants and it is quite likely that the seeds you received could be either pollenated or not. They wouldn't include pollen, since the preliminary fertilization must have already occured, or it will never. The fertilization of the egg by the sperm cell (pollen) must occur while the female part is connected to the tree. If you went outside and gathered at the right time of the year, the seeds you gathered will (just a reasonable guess) have a 95% chance of being fertilized.
I am almost certain. But anyone correct me if I am wrong...
