To grow black cherry trees from seeds Place the cherry pits in moist perlite in the crisper section of your fridge or place the black cherry seed in a small glass jar. Leave for 3?4 months to replicate a cold winter or stratify the black cherry seed to simulate its natural damp winter "after-ripening" cold cycle treatment. Cultivate a fertile, well-draining, sunny spot about 2 feet square in early spring as soon as you can work the soil and it is no longer soggy. Plant the cherry pits or black cherry seed into seed-raising mix. Continue to pot into progressively larger pots until the tree is at least 60cm high. At this time the tree can be transplanted out into the garden.
