1. Prepare Your Seeds
Use seeds from fresh, local cherries.
Clean off any pulp, then let them air dry for a few days.
2. Stratify
Wrap seeds in a damp paper towel, place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 10-12 weeks.
3. Planting
Fill small pots with well-draining soil.
Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and keep the soil slightly moist.
4. Set Growing Conditions
Place in a bright area with indirect sunlight.
Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
5. Transplanting
Once seedlings have several leaves, move them to larger pots or outdoors in well-draining soil and sunlight.
