This is an update from my experiment trying to grow cherry trees fast from seed. * Watch what I did to try and germinate cherry seeds fast: • Trying to grow cherry ...
Very fun experimenting, why not! I did the same during the pandemic (2021) just to see if I could. I used cinnamon & left wrapped in fridge a few mos & successfully got a few to sprout & 1 to grow. Last year when leaves fell off I left outdoors but covered the stem with a bag during cold weather & this year in zone 9 it grew new leaves & is 18” tall. I was pleasantly surprised. I buy cherries at the store & even bought a grafted dwarf cherry tree for my patio BUT it was a very fun experiment & I am excited to see the progress on my seedling. Keep on trying & you will get there. ❤️🤞
Just a helpful tip, if you use ground cinnamon in the papertowel before you wrap the seed, it will help prevent fungi from forming and destroying the seed.
Keep going girl.. that was really interesting. I'm in Australia and trying the same thing. I've never done it so what the heck!! Gotta give it all a try and see what happens. Happy New YEAR..
To make sure the cherry seeds have a chance of sprouting I heard you could put them in a bowl of water if they float they are no good if they sink they have a chance I don’t know if it’s true or not tho.
That's the float test. From my own personal experience with other seeds, it's inaccurate. I've had seeds that float germinate and grow just fine. Thanks though, Katherine!
One is better than none, right? Here's what I did to germinate the seeds: czcams.com/video/561vvJ7UfKA/video.html
For sure!! It is!! :-)

Nice! I hope your seedlings flourish, Cheryl.
the paper towel method works fine but I suggest you put some cinnamon on them to prevent mold and bacteria and induce root growth
Thank you. I plan on doing some experiments with cinnamon in the future.
@@vesgardens Cinnamon works! About a week ago, I cracked open two peach pits and removed the brown coating on the seeds. One has a root coming out. 🙂

Your comment just reminded me to try this again. If you try it, let me know what happens! Happy New Year.
So glad I watched this video,I now know all possibilities. Thanks for sharing
Glad this helped you!

Did any of the cherries grow?
Unfortunately no.
@@vesgardens 😔
I think I put them outside and they got dried out. I'm going to try again eventually.
@@SuperSonkuXDZ 😥
try some cinnamon to control fungus
Ok. Thank you for the suggestion.
It's not clear which method gave you the best result...
I think soaking the seeds in warm water, removing the protective coating and planting them right away gave the best result. Sorry for being unclear!
@@vesgardens no need to be sorry, thanks for the tip. Was these picked cherries or store bought...?
@@ApisVenandi store bought
Drawn out way to long -ughhh
Thanks for the feedback
What a waste of my time watching this.
Why? Because the results weren't what you expected? Thanks for watching anyway!
