Question
I have had no luck in germinating these seeds. I cracked some cherry pits, planted the seeds and had no luck. The same holds true for peach pits. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time

Hi Bob,
Thanx for your question.  I'm sorry I'm so late.  I forgot to put myself in vacation status on the website for the Labor Day holiday.

Peach and cherry seeds require one to two cold periods in order to germinate.  Plant the seeds in pots and set the pots outside for the winter.  Many seeds will germinate in the spring provided winter temperatures are consistantly below 40 degrees F.  If they don't germinate, they may require another winter.  You can fool Mother Nature by placing the pots in the fridge sealed inside a plastic bag for 90-120 days then return to the warm weather outdoors.  Make sure you keep the pot watered when placing outside.  I hope this helps.  One other thing.  The resulting plants usually don't resemble the parent plants nor will the fruit because most fruit trees are hybrids.
