Planting & Care

Cherry seeds require cold stratification to break dormancy. Before planting, stratify seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for 8-12 weeks. Sow seeds outdoors in fall or start indoors in late winter. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in well-draining soil. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is key.

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with good air circulation. Water young trees regularly during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. With proper care, your Lapins Cherry tree will grow into a beautiful and productive addition to your garden.
