Cherry Seed Germination: Fridge Stratification Method

David wants to save and germinate favorite cherry seeds. Protocol:

1. Plant seed as deep as its width in damp potting mix.
2. Seal pot in plastic bag; refrigerate 60+ days (40°F, not below 25°F).
3. Remove; place in sunny window (no bag).
4. Germination in 3–6 months.

Caveat: Grocery-store cherries are hybrids—seedlings won't match. For true varieties, buy grafted trees.
