Buy a small tree to plant as seeds will take you forever! I have a cherry tree that I attach CD's to before spring to scare the birds away - looks silly but saves the fruit!
My cherries are lovely but they do ripen up quickly so pick them quick! They also come out early.
Good luck with the cherry tree!

I have a cherry tree in my back garden in the UK. They grow fine and are ready to pick midsummer.
Just get some seeds and plant them in decent soil.

yes you can grow loads of varieties of cherries, desert and cooking cherries and you can also get them on dwarfing rootstocks, they can get very big.
I grow Stellata and seeing that the tree was about £15 3 years ago I think we may have made our money back. How expensive are they in the UK !!!!!!!!!

All plants have preferred climatic conditions that suit them best. So you need to find the variety of cherry tree that suits the climate where you intend to grow it. Ask your local horticultural college for advice on which variety to use.

I love cherries - mmmmmmmmmm

Planting
Standard and bush trees should be planted in late winter at least 15ft - 20ft (4.5 - 6.0m) apart. Fan trained trees should be planted against a wall or wired support spaced 18ft (5.5m) apart.

Get your local fruit grower/nursery to advise on variety. Make sure you net the fruit BEFORE it ripens, or the birds will beat you to it. They can strip a tree in one early morning raid.
