Growing cherry trees from pits is a rewarding and budget-friendly project.
Start by saving pits from fresh, organic cherries and cleaning off all fruit residue.
Let the pits dry for a few days, then cold-stratify them by placing them in a moist paper towel inside the fridge for 10–12 weeks.
Once sprouted, plant the seeds in pots with good drainage and nutrient-rich soil.
Keep them in a sunny location and water regularly.
After the seedlings are strong enough, transplant them into your backyard in early spring.
Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
Cherry trees need space, so plant them at least 20 feet apart.
