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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 10 Bing Cherry Tree Seeds (Prunus avium).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836009742646,"sku":"FOLIA2-1728","price":42.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7130608243_js6b.jpg?v=1793097198","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/bing-cherry-tree-seeds-10-prunus-avium-heirloom-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
