Planting & Care

To grow Bing cherry trees from seed, start by stratifying the seeds to break dormancy. You can do this by placing seeds in a moist medium (like peat moss or paper towel) in a sealed bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. After stratification, sow seeds about 1 inch deep in pots or directly in the ground in a prepared bed. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, transplant them to their permanent location in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Prune as needed to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches.
