The term 'seed production area' [SPA] refers to plants established to produce seed that is as representative of an original, healthy wild population as possible. A SPA is established using known seed sources and planted in a design that will maximise the potential for cross-pollination, while also providing easy access for collection and maintenance. The SPA should be designed to maintain genetic diversity of the source population, while also providing a buffer for local remnant vegetation from fragmentation issues, while also adding to the conservation of a species.
