Planting & Care
To grow Lambert cherry trees from seed, start by stratifying the seeds to break dormancy. Place seeds in a moist medium and refrigerate for 8-12 weeks. After stratification, sow seeds about 1 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide warmth (around 70°F) for germination. Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or a sunny garden location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and prune as needed to shape the tree.
