Germination can be slow and variable, so patience is required. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden in a sunny, sheltered location. Provide regular watering during establishment, and protect young plants from frost. In cooler climates, grow in containers and move indoors during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanish Cherry trees benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage airflow. They are generally low-maintenance once established but appreciate rich, well-drained soil and regular watering during dry periods. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Spanish Cherry seeds (Muntingia calabura) for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836009546038,"sku":"FOLIA2-1722","price":42.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7139274479_ec1k.jpg?v=1793097187","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/spanish-cherry-seeds-10-muntingia-calabura-tropical-fruit-tree-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
