20 Black Cherry Seeds ~ Prunus serotina ~Fruit Bearing Tree ~Ready to Plant
20 Black Cherry Seeds (Prunus serotina) Black cherry is a large, native tree found in the Midwest and throughout the eastern United States. The showy white flowers appear as pendulous clusters in early spring, followed by dark, pea-sized fruits in late summer. The mature bark is dark and scaly, often flipping up on the edges. This species is native to the Chicago region Germination Stratify seeds using moist chilling for 120 days to satisfy physiological dormancy. Following stratification, sow seeds in a nursery container to produce a seedling or sow them in a plastic container to observe germinationZone/Climate USDA Zones 3-9Planting date The optimal time to plant is during the late fall, meaning you will start seeing your sprouts by springSoil requirements Black cherry will do well on a number of different soil types, but does best in deep, well- drained soils with a pH between 5.0 and 6.5. Although drought tolerant, this species does best on north- and east-facing aspects which provide moister, cooler environments. Depth / Spacing Rooting Habit- The root system of black cherry is predominantly spreading and shallow, even in well-drained soils. Most roots are restricted to the upper 60 cm (24 in) of soil or less, with occasional sinker roots extending to depths of 90 to 120 cm (36 to 48 in).Sunlight Black cherry thrives with intensive light exposure, encouraging optimal growth. Partial shade won’t harm it but might lead to a slowed growing rate and potential susceptibility to diseases.Watering Give your cherry tree enough water to soak the ground all around the roots. It’s important to note that, even if you’re in the midst of a “brown-lawn drought”, you shouldn’t water too much. Once every 7- to 10-days (or even once every two weeks) is plenty Harvesting The black cherry tree does not mature until it is a decade old. From that point forward, it will bear fruit. However, it will not produce a heavy crop until it is 30 years old.
