How to grow cherry at home from fruit: all the secrets.

Did you know that cherry trees can be grown at home at no cost, from fruit waste? In summer they are the real sweets of nature’s cherries, which adults and children love. But growing a tree is another story. Only that many are unaware that it can be grown from the seed in the fruit, let’s see how to do it.

Do you want to grow cherry trees at home but think it is completely impossible? Here is the solution you were looking for, the quick and easy tutorial to get you started until you can later graft it.
To start, we take ripe cherries that reach the typical dark red color. If this is not the case, we risk taking cherries with a stone that has not yet formed. Now let’s take our core and leave it in the air (about 5/7) and let them dry overnight (also wanting to expose ourselves to the sun).

Now then we will have to go, with a pair of pliers, to break the core with a hammer. In this way we will remove the outer shield to take the inner core that will help us root. When we have taken the almonds, we prepare a plastic tray with a lid and also take a sheet of absorbent paper from which we will take two equal large portions.

Place one of the two on the bottom and moisten it with a spray mist filled with water. Now let’s place the stones inside and then cover again with another sheet of absorbent paper and moisten again with more water. Now we place the tray in the refrigerator. After about 10 days the first shoots will appear. We are going to gently uncover them and we will discover that the sprouts will have begun to appear.

Now let’s take a jar with soil in it and put it in soft draining soil (a mixture of universal soil and perlite). We make a small dimple in the center about 1 cm deep and then place the seed inside. We place the new root in the direction of the bottom of the jar. Then we decompose it again with a little soil and place it in the shade.

It will take time, it is true, but with calm and patience sooner or later we will also see our cherry tree take root at home. It will grow strong and lush and we will have obtained it completely free of charge!
