I took some seeds and let them dry out for a month or sow them cracked the hull with some pliers. them removed the seed from the hulls. then I planted. I now have a tiny cherry tree. tried a few other methods but this one worked first..

Just purchased some other types of cherries a the grocer. This time Im going to start the lot of them the same way.

@MrPhillipcochran once you planted the seed, How long did it take to germinate?

@MrPhillipcochran

like 1 or 2 years ago i collected about 20 cherry seeds to plant them i tried to plant 10 like any normal plant and they didnt grow

I still have the other 10 seeds, do you think they will grow even if they're 2 year olds?

and if so, how many seeds did you plant and how many sprouts did you get? did you have to water the seed daily or each week? after taking them off the fridge did you plant the seeds in a big or small pot?

sorry for asking too many questions

[MrPhillipcochran]
