    Cherry trees are popular throughout the world and are grown for both their sweet fruits and stunning blossoms. Growing cherry trees from their pits (seeds) is a simple, effective method to cultivate this fruiting tree and something that can easily be done from home after buying some cherries from the local store or supermarket. They can even be germinated in pots, making them practical for those who have a garden with limited space or even just a balcony to grow a few plants on.

      All modern cherry hybrids will not yeild the same fruit from seed. Most will grow sterile trees or very small fruit. Modern hybrids are propagated by grafting onto rootstock. Old varieties, not shown, will grow true yellow-pink Napoleon, called Royal Ann & Queen Ann in UK & US, will grow true as will small black old world English Cherries ( Roman's brought from Armenia 2 millenia ago) & most sour cherries.

    One thing you might want to add. You can sprout cherries all you like, but for the most part you will need to be in a region with about 700 hours of cold weather for the plant to produce cherries. At least that is what the local nurseries here tell me as I love Rainier Cherries but now that I live in Florida, we only have about 360 and i'm told they will never produce.

    • @GreenthumbsGarden
      @GreenthumbsGarden  3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      That is great info for me to add in the next update I want to add a faq. Thanks Roger. I read on average its 1000 chilling hours for them to produce but it depends greatly on type or cultivar. Check out ‘Royal Lee’ and ‘Minnie Royal' apparently they need as few as 300 hours chill time. I have no idea what amount of chill time we get here in Malaga but should be enough, we get a good few months of coldish weather.

    • @matthewfarrell317

    As a cherry farmer I was always taught that starting from seed will only give you a seedling cherry and not a edible cherry. But it also takes around 5 years to see fruit off of the tree so who knows. I hope people buying seeds online are not getting hosed only to find out years down the road.

    • @GreenthumbsGarden
      @GreenthumbsGarden  2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Yeah growing from seed you will get a wild Cherrie tree with unknow characteristics . If your farming cherry's and are relying on results then buying a grafted tree would be the way to go. Ill look forward to trying to graft the trees myself one day once they grow big enough and i find a good donor tree.

      Are you prepared to wait 15 years for lemons? I planted some lemon seeds and had a nice little tree growing in a pot. I worried about frost killing it so I brought it inside in the winter. Did this for years and no blooms or fruit. I finally looked up lemon trees in my propagation book from my horticulture course and the book said it takes 15 years to be mature enough to bear fruit. On the 15th year I had it outside getting sun and didn't know we were going to have a hard frost that night. The frost killed my tree.
      One thing I didn't know about lemon trees is that the leaves smell like lemons when you crush them. Oh yeah, another thing I didn't know about lemon trees is that they have huge long thorns on the branches. It makes handling them a bit painful. I would clip them off to avoid getting stuck.
