So no scarification needed?
Thanks, Jim

Megan,
In my limited experience, sweet cherry pits started to germinate in the fridge about 60 days after being put in there to chill, so check them occasionally. Here in zone 7 the trees set fruit in the fifth year.

Late rains took half my first-ever sweet cherry crop. I thought
perhaps I could salvage something from the tragedy by using the seeds
to see if I get anything useful for rootstock or low-chill breeding.
I know I have to stratify the seed but it's unclear to me whether I
need to scarify it as well. Also, how long does it take a cherry
grown from seed to reach bearing maturity?
