After the 10 weeks have gone by, take the pits out of the fridge, and allow them to come to room temperature.
Put 2 or 3 pits into a small container that is filled with potting soil and water well. Make sure you use drained soil.
Keep the soil moist at all times.
Once the seedlings are about 2 inches tall, go ahead and thin them to remove the weakest plants. Leave the sturdiest seedling in the pot.
Keep the seedling in a sunny spot, indoors, until all danger of frost has passed.
Once all danger of frost has gone, you may go ahead and transplant outdoors.
Space each tree about 20 feet apart.
FERTILIZING CHERRY TREE:
Fertilize your cherry tree about once a year.
Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring.
HARVESTING:
A cherry tree will start to produce fruit in its fourth year. This may seem like a long time, but it is absolutely worth it!
Once your cherry tree has matured, it will keep producing juicy cherries season after season!
Happy Planting!
