Don’t throw away your cherry pits this October!

That little cherry pit sitting in your kitchen trash could become the beginning of a brand-new cherry tree — but only if you give it the one thing it has been waiting for: winter.

Most people plant cherry pits directly into soil, keep them warm and wet, and then wonder why nothing happens. The problem usually isn’t the seed. It’s dormancy.

In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to grow cherry trees from pits using a simple 3-step cold stratification method. You’ll learn why October is such an important time to start, how to prepare and clean your pits, how to simulate winter inside your refrigerator, and exactly when to plant the seed once that tiny white root appears.


And stay until the end for the commercial grower secret: why nurseries deliberately grow cherry seedlings from pits and how you can eventually use your seedling as rootstock for grafting.

If you're trying this method this October, comment “PITS” below.

If you've tried growing a fruit tree from a pit before and failed, comment “WINTER” — now you know what the seed was missing.
