Wild Plum stones
« on: August 26, 2009, 16:56 »
I have dried a whole bunch of stones from the wild cherry plums I picked last week and I wondered when would be the best time to plant them; am I best waiting until next spring or can they go in now if I leave them on the windowledge?

Indeed, do they need to be indoors at all?

If they are anything like the cherry i have in the garden................all you need to do is plant them :)...the cherries plant themselves where they fall, and grow all over the garden.
I have to keep the hoe moving, as they are little beggars to get out if i miss them for a couple of weeks :(
So definitely outside, and personally i wouldn't have dried them, because naturally they stay damp, and therefore split open easily on germination.

Let us know how you get on :)
