After planting seeds and till the plants start it’s first leave do you keep the pots under light for 8-12 hours or do you leave the pots outside in the sun? How often to water the pots with seeds?
A grow light is not needed, I just happened to have one on hand and it gave me a nice place to get them going. Place them in a bright area where they can receive good light but not direct. This could be done with shade cloth or tree cover. Water, when you see the pot, is getting a little dry when you poke your finger in.
I grew up with cherry trees and would just like to suggest ... don't forget to buy bird nets for your trees as they mature. Birds will ignore the sour cherries (pie cherries) and unripe cherries. But sweet black or bing cherries, such as these ... on the day these ripen, EVERY BIRD within 10 miles will be in your trees. They absolutely love sweet cherries once they are ripe.
it's hard to beat the birds Tim 😂 last year I had some great blueberries on my bushes, and they were gone just as each one ripened... We probably ate 6 between me and my wife😂😅
Thanks! Let's hope that the little saplings do well! We in summer here now in Spain and it's been a scorcher, and next month will be worse. I notice they are struggling under the heat. 🙏
After trying to grow my cherry seeds (pits 🤦🏽♀️) in the hot CA sun, with no growth (HaHa!), I searched and came across your videos. I removed the seeds from the pits and I’m hoping they’re still viable. Will try the process from here on out with my current seeds and future pitted seeds. Thanks for the informative video.

I'll be making a new update in about a month's time and adding a FAQ along with it to answer some frequently asked questions. Make sure to get your questions in and comment them in this thread and ill try and cover it in the video. Here is the latest update in the Cherry saga playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLuLOaHvZYqpfMxW03X9SRYjL-oO98Wr3j.html
this video, the 2nd update covers some faq's th-cam.com/video/O-yUBzcoeZM/w-d-xo.html but to answer your question quickly, up to 7 years without grafting.
I’ve never done what you’re doing, but I have had great success starting vegetable seeds in jiffy pots. The neat thing about them is it would eliminate the washing of pots and having to risk disturbing the root ball during transfer. The jiffy pots are biodegradable and the roots will just grow right through them. Love your channel, your knowledge and your enthusiasm.
I have some seeds in the fridge should be ready to plant in two weeks. Unfortunately, in Louisiana it will be pretty hot by that time. Should I use a grow light indoors until I’m ready to plant them in the ground around October/ November I’m guessing when fall is in full force around here. Which we don’t have much of. Thanks.
just wait a little longer, or you can try taking them out and leaving them at room temp for a week or two and check every other day, the warm temp change can trigger them at this stage.
sorry for the late reply! your sprout must be coming along now! water when the soil is a little dry. check the Cherry FAQ vid for more info and how to check when to water :-)
I was hoping to see a much smaller seedling, I may have one growing but I'm not sure what it is. I'm going to let it grow and see what it turns out to be.
Oh my word!! I stumbled onto your channel! Here I've been eating yummy cherries this last week, and throwing the seeds out! I had no idea I could actually plant them!! Fortunately I still have more cherries to eat. So, I'll get to play with Cherry Seeds!! Excellent teaching videos on this!! Many thanks.
Well considering they were getting 15h a day under the lights 😅 the sun don't come up here for 15h. Also, they don't get fill sun all-day as there's all lot of tall trees blocking them.
@@GreenthumbsGarden only meaning the amount of light is less outside period the sun is not as powerful as a led panel of almost any size the pars lux Wtfe u count the sun is a wimp comparison to a useable light source that uses electric I bang 1k watts MH 600 hps in a 7 foot tent duel hood even spread light evenly mixed makes for a nice grow lol sunlight Wtfe I Gota plug homie outside never never to many damn bugs Bwhahahaha the sun only has like what 10k lumens u can get that with 1 led bulb
Yes for sure! I just used the light as I had it on hand but the outside now. While they still small just find a nice bright spot for them, but protected from very hot direct light and rain and wind. Untill they are bigger stronger.
And what are you waiting for, in 10 years you will get some cherries. Make sure you spray them with pesticides every 2 weeks, or you get a worm with each cherry.
Thanks for the info about growing cherry trees. However, I found cracking the hard shell difficult to do without smashing the seed inside. I kept trying and finally got 10 seeds which are now in the fridge. Looking forward to seeing the update on the repotted plants.
Thanks Cynthia, Ill have an update out in about a month and Ill go through some frequently asked questions. Next time try letting the pit dry a few days before cracking it open. The seed inside will shrivel a little and make some space between the shell and its self. then when you crack it open there will be less chance to damage the seed.
@@GreenthumbsGarden Thank you for that tidbit of information. I just collected 20 seeds, and I was debating whether or not to let them dry out for a few days. Can’t wait to get started on this project! So glad to have found your channel 💖
Excellent ideas that I would love to try. I just started out growing organic lemon seeds and they have just started growing about two weeks and am so excited even tho it takes a few years to get actual fruit, it’s a start. But seeing this about cherries, I am encouraged by your video to start on the cherries and hopefully I can learn more. Thanks for that, just awesome ! I’m gonna be looking out for more of your videos and ideas.
normally about 2 months and i see them already germinating within the paper towel in the fridge. At that point you could leave them longer and wait for a sign of germination or try and force them by taking them out, planting them and the warm temp should trigger them.
all depends on your weather Hedije. Here it is very hot now, summer is here and I'm watering them every day. basically when the top 3 inch of soil get a bit dry which is daily now.
I think Cherry trees like Apples and Pears and Plum make both make and female flowers. But you will need tow trees for cross pollination, some cherry variety's are self fertile though.
@@GreenthumbsGarden yes, but you refer to them as male gender often, more in the French way of allocating a gender to everything, cherries and other fruit plants have to be female. I have never studied French so may be wrong.
Perlite is a natural volcanic substance that is like white little stones and weighs very little. most garden compost will contain it, you can buy it also to add to soil to improve soil aeration and water retention.
Not recommended. Cherries need a cold temperature drop to simulate fruiting. I imagine Barbados is very warm all year around? The one time I was in Barbados as a child, it was beautiful!
Iv literally jst ate some cherry's and thought id Google how to plant the pip n make a tree.. Glad I came across this.. Looks soo easy.. Gonna be doing this with my 6yr old after school.. Thanks for makin it look soo easy

Thank you Tim! Get diving right in! and just be careful buying seeds when they put "bonsai" and buzz words like "Rare" in the title. Bonsai is a method and you cant get seed that will grow a bonsai but all bonsais would grow to be full sized trees if not for years of work from the cultivator. Thanks for the positive feedback mate, I hope you have success with the seeds you got!
BOUT HOW TALL WILL THE TREE GROW,ALSO HOW LONG BEFORE THEY GO TO FRUIT. AAAAND CAN I PLANT THE IN MY GROW ZONE. I LIVE IN NORTH WESTERN CONNECTICUT, USA . One chart states im in zone 5 with zone 6 directly to my right.
they can grow up to 35 feet and 25 wide. It could take up to 10 years before they fruit and there is a small chance it might never fruit or the fruit be sour. What your getting is a wild cherry tree that will exhibit any of the quality's of its parentage for better or worse. What we will do when our saplings are bigger is graft a productive tree on to our saplings and that will make them fruit much sooner and guarantee production. Yes your growing zone should be fine!
@@GreenthumbsGarden - Just adding some info... My new next door neighbor yesterday cut two cherry trees higher than that! ;-) Luckily for me because my satellite signal was literally gone! Meanwhile I got some of it for fire wood and wood chips. The smaller branches, leaves, etc. Basically the wood he didn't want. Since is selling the "good" parts for timber. In another country, I've got a few young and much smaller cherry trees. Producing marvelous cherries. Those are still short. Since they're younger trees. But even than the cherries from the upper part of the trees are already for the birds. Since I can't reach them!
Very good, I have some Rainer Cherries, I put 3 seeds aside to plant. Thank goodness I watch your videos. I was just going to plant the pits. Didn’t know you have to open them. Hope I can. I have two questions. One to grow cherry trees they need a cold winter????? Second question how many year will it take for them to bear fruit??????? I live in Mexico!!!!!! The coldest in winter it gets here is about 49 F. Highest temperature in spring is 95 F. Rain from June till September.
Hi penni, you don't have to crack them open but it has some benefits, you can check the seed, see if its viable, hydrate it and get better germination chances. what you will get is a wild cherry tree, it could take up to 10 years to bear fruit. You can graft it in the future to get fruit earlier. Yes a cold winter is needed to get good fruit, about 32- 39 for a month, but its best to check for local variety's where you live and try and take a graft from one of those trees. plant more than one tree also for cross pollination.
just when I see the paper towel getting a little dry, dampen... oh wait wrong video, 😂🤣😂 Yes I just re-water when the soil gets dry, stick your index finger in to the soil if its still damp hold off and wait until it dry's a bit more.
@@GreenthumbsGarden I am new to your channel. Do you have any video on propagating of aribivore evergreen? I loved the part of the video that said this guys a loser!
Looking good. Do we add a stick at some point to make them straight and strong? Also, there are many descriptions about pruning - at what age do we prune them for the first time?
you should be fine, I read your gardening hardiness zone is considered 5a. This is an exert from the info I found. _"Sweet varieties are suited to USDA zones 5-7 while sour cultivars are suited to zones 4-6. Thus, there is no need to search for cold-hardy cherry trees, as either type will thrive in USDA zone 5."_
as long as you get a cold time, cherry's need on average 1000 hours of chill time for them to fruit. Some cultivars need much less. Thats about 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 4.5 Celsius) for them to produce flowers.
Thanks luv I needed to see this. I’m still on step two my seeds are still in the fridge. 🙄waiting a few days to get the white seed out the lil shell. Then sow them as you did wish me luck guys
Or you can forget all this imported "crap"! Had some (homemade) compost, to local soil. Preferably from where the tree will be located! ;-) And there you go, cheap and easy. Work every time! People tend to over complicate with commercial "stuff". With this said, if you have a local source of pumice stones... Why not? But it's really not needed! ;-)
I found that video footage Papa I was talking about, they doing good but I replanted them in to wide containers and have been using a acidifier every several months to keep the soil acidity lower. Ill try and post the vid in the next days. Want to make a new blueberry video also so cover a lot of points I did not mention and obviously learnt during the time of actual growing the berry's rather than the lip service...lol. Hope everything is well over in Texas.
Well, the dirt, in the parts of central and south east Texas that I’ve lived in, is this terrible caliche clay, not fit for growing much besides scrub oak and cedar. Blueberries would not care for this alkaline dirt. And I love blueberries. However, blackberries are said (by the extension service) to like it here. I’ll give them a try. I tried blueberries three years. I failed. I think I missed on two problems: the acidity of the soil and keeping the young plants watered enough. The roots don’t have hair roots; therefore, the plants like to be watered more frequently than I watered them.
@@papajeff5486 just for you, a sneak peek but ill put it out in a few days as not to interfere with my latest upload. th-cam.com/video/mA_FWW259VQ/w-d-xo.html
@@papajeff5486 yeah I feel you, here in south Spain it gets very hot in summer, we about zone 10 here. Where we live on a hillside the soil is terrible, dry and dusty with not much depth and full of rocks. It's been a real pain trying to cultivate it. Yeah Blueberries can not stand any drought at all and need a constant supply of water... I found out the hard way and left one bush too dry in summer and it did not recover.
What a brilliant idea on how to make the pot hole the right size
😅 yes it comes in handy sometimes,
Excellent tip👍 thank you.
Yeah, I thought he was going to leave the pot in there ..........??? Lol

I planted 15 cherry seeds and so far 3 plants have broke ground. I'm hoping for more but excited about the 3 I have.
It seems like the success rate of cherry seeds are so low, does anyone know why ... ??

Thank you for sharing some great knowledge. Foul play, could be someone close to you.
I think so too 😅
thank you! Also, i agree.. very handsome guy!
Hey Great Work My Friend. Do you have your grow light on a timer or do you just leave it on all the time?
I had it on a timer, I think 14 hours. not using it at the mo, just packed away in a box, but it was very good.
Definitely a victim of foul play! I'll find them whoever they are 🧐👀 Im almost 100% it was a typical case of overwatering....
Wish I had watched this before I made my cherry jam. I had so many seeds I could have gave this a try

Watching video after video. Really appreciate the work you're putting into these videos. Thank you.
I’ve never done what you’re doing, but I have had great success starting vegetable seeds in jiffy pots.

The jiffy pots are biodegradable and the roots will just grow right through them. Love your channel, your knowledge and your enthusiasm.

I was hoping to see a much smaller seedling, I may have one growing but I'm not sure what it is. I'm going to let it grow and see what it turns out to be.
on my community page I have a pic of them as new sprouts after a few days, that might help.
How frequently should I water them
when you see that the soil is getting a little dry, stick your finger in and if its still feeling a little dry then give them some water.
I read the reviews from the grow light company and people say they get too hit and melt. They don't seem like good lights according to the reviews.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
👍sir will they give fruits
we hope so! with seed grown it is a big gamble. we can always graft the plant though to guarantee fruit.

Very good, I have some Rainer Cherries, I put 3 seeds aside to plant. Thank goodness I watch your videos. I was just going to plant the pits. Didn’t know you have to open them. Hope I can. I have two questions. One to grow cherry trees they need a cold winter????? Second question how many year will it take for them to bear fruit??????? I live in Mexico!!!!!! The coldest in winter it gets here is about 49 F. Highest temperature in spring is 95 F. Rain from June till September.
Hi penni, you don't have to crack them open but it has some benefits, you can check the seed, see if its viable, hydrate it and get better germination chances. what you will get is a wild cherry tree, it could take up to 10 years to bear fruit. You can graft it in the future to get fruit earlier. Yes a cold winter is needed to get good fruit, about 32- 39 for a month, but its best to check for local variety's where you live and try and take a graft from one of those trees. plant more than one tree also for cross pollination.
@@GreenthumbsGarden Thank You very much for answering my question. Have a good day.
Great job!!!
Thanks for watching!
I will try in cherry planting soon :) tnx for the info . 😉
Your welcome mate!
How often did you water?
just when I see the paper towel getting a little dry, dampen... oh wait wrong video, 😂🤣😂 Yes I just re-water when the soil gets dry, stick your index finger in to the soil if its still damp hold off and wait until it dry's a bit more.
@@GreenthumbsGarden I am new to your channel. Do you have any video on propagating of aribivore evergreen? I loved the part of the video that said this guys a loser!
@@higherpower4653 😂🤣glad you enjoyed it mate. I'm afraid I don't have any videos on that sorry.
Put up cameras to catch whoever is overwatering the plants :)
😂🤣😂😅
How about a new cherry seedling update? Thanks.
I will very soon, and include a common questions answered along with it. thanks! 😁
How big does the plant have to be to plant outside to survive winter months?
Cherry trees are a cold zone plant, so don't worry it will do fine... unless you live in the Antarctica...😶
Looking good. Do we add a stick at some point to make them straight and strong? Also, there are many descriptions about pruning - at what age do we prune them for the first time?
I wouldn't worry about pruning for the first year until it's had plenty of growth. I haven't used a stick but if you see it needs it plonk one in.
I live in Montreal Quebec. Is that too cold to plant it outside, with the winter??
you should be fine, I read your gardening hardiness zone is considered 5a. This is an exert from the info I found. _"Sweet varieties are suited to USDA zones 5-7 while sour cultivars are suited to zones 4-6. Thus, there is no need to search for cold-hardy cherry trees, as either type will thrive in USDA zone 5."_
A pair of vice grips set to the right measurement works every time the crack the shell
great idea Shaggy!
Very nice
👍🌱🍀🍒
Sir, can you make a video about how to grow maple from seeds? Please
I would love a maple!! such a beautiful tree. I'll look in to it, first would need to know where I could get some seed 🤔
Where are you located? I live in south Texas (zone 9) and wonder if bing cherries will grow and bear fruit in my area.
as long as you get a cold time, cherry's need on average 1000 hours of chill time for them to fruit. Some cultivars need much less. Thats about 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 4.5 Celsius) for them to produce flowers.
@@GreenthumbsGarden will they freeze to death if it gets colder? How long before you get cherries? Should l use Bing seeds for cold weather?
Where do u order those deep pots they'll be awesome to plant fruits trees or any other trees in them
I picked these up from a local garden center but only ever found them in one place. I love these square deeper pots but seem hard to find.
I did almonds it worked
Excellent!!! Almond and cherry blossoms, beautiful!!
@@GreenthumbsGarden my cherries don't germinate in a pot I tried ziplock bag let's c after two months
@@mastmolamm5604 yes give them a couple of months in the fridge then take a look,
I think that one needs more light as that leaf was shaded.
maybe it was shaded or on the outskirt of the growlight.
Will cherries make it over winter in nj once grown?
yeah sure, they are a cold climate plant.
Can you use extra sand instead of perlite?
sure 🙂
Thanks luv I needed to see this. I’m still on step two my seeds are still in the fridge. 🙄waiting a few days to get the white seed out the lil shell. Then sow them as you did wish me luck guys
You got this! 😃
@@GreenthumbsGarden 🤗🍒🥰
Hi, can I also add pumice stones to the soil in place of perlite? Thanks
Or you can forget all this imported "crap"! Had some (homemade) compost, to local soil. Preferably from where the tree will be located! ;-)
And there you go, cheap and easy. Work every time! People tend to over complicate with commercial "stuff".
With this said, if you have a local source of pumice stones... Why not? But it's really not needed! ;-)
Yes you can, it can provide excellent aeration for roots, break up clay heavy soils. Go for it!
New member here, that was Genius!
thanks Marcia! 😁
What grow light do u use bro
Mars Hydro, I have a video about it a few vids back. links also in the description 😀
How are your blueberry bushes doing? Texas
I found that video footage Papa I was talking about, they doing good but I replanted them in to wide containers and have been using a acidifier every several months to keep the soil acidity lower. Ill try and post the vid in the next days. Want to make a new blueberry video also so cover a lot of points I did not mention and obviously learnt during the time of actual growing the berry's rather than the lip service...lol. Hope everything is well over in Texas.
Well, the dirt, in the parts of central and south east Texas that I’ve lived in, is this terrible caliche clay, not fit for growing much besides scrub oak and cedar. Blueberries would not care for this alkaline dirt. And I love blueberries. However, blackberries are said (by the extension service) to like it here. I’ll give them a try. I tried blueberries three years. I failed. I think I missed on two problems: the acidity of the soil and keeping the young plants watered enough. The roots don’t have hair roots; therefore, the plants like to be watered more frequently than I watered them.
@@papajeff5486 just for you, a sneak peek but ill put it out in a few days as not to interfere with my latest upload.
th-cam.com/video/mA_FWW259VQ/w-d-xo.html
@@papajeff5486 yeah I feel you, here in south Spain it gets very hot in summer, we about zone 10 here. Where we live on a hillside the soil is terrible, dry and dusty with not much depth and full of rocks. It's been a real pain trying to cultivate it. Yeah Blueberries can not stand any drought at all and need a constant supply of water... I found out the hard way and left one bush too dry in summer and it did not recover.
Just remember, cherries fo not grow true to seed.
that's right, but in the future i plan to graft these and we'll make some vids on how to do it.
@@GreenthumbsGarden That’d be awesome. Grafted lots of apples and pears to rootstock I’ve grown from seed but not cherries.
@@tommyhunter1817 that's brill Tommy! I think grafting is one of the most exciting things about gardening.
What if I plant them straight into big pot?
Yeah even better.... Its what I should have done but my stinginess got the better of me, lol
@@GreenthumbsGarden thanks
u should try fabric pots, or airpots. less chance to overwater more air more roots also. And do u use something to stimulate root growt ?
thats an idea. I'll have to try it. No not using anything at the moment to stimulate root growth.
