Can cherry pits, the first fruit of early spring, be grown as potted plants? Germination time and planting method

As people's living standards gradually improve, more and more people like to grow various potted plants at home, for example, durian seeds, passion fruit seeds, and orange seeds can all be grown as potted plants, and with good care, they can even bear fruit. So can cherry pits (seeds) be grown as potted plants? How long until they germinate? How to plant them?

Yes, but cherry seeds are not suitable for raising seedlings, because their germination rate is very low and they grow very slowly, generally taking 5 years to bear fruit. However, if you are patient, you can still grow them as potted plants. Specifically, take out the pit, wash off the flesh attached to the outside of the pit with clean water, and then place it in a cool place to dry for 1 to 2 days before sowing. When sowing, plant the pit directly in a shallow pot, and the seed will germinate 10 to 30 days after sowing. When the seedling grows to 5 to 10 cm, transplant it into a soft plastic pot. Cherry seeds germinate easily, but their germination is uneven, and the seeds produced by some plants often lack viable embryos, with a germination rate below 30%.
