This Arnold arboretum selection of cornelian cherry combines both a better flavor profile of the cornelian cherry as well as a free stone type that can be eaten fresh off the tree. We have found this seed sots.rce to be highly productive with larger fruit on very precocious plants. The shade tolerance of the cornelian cherry as well as it frost resistant blossoms makes it a useful edible landscape tree.

To germinate the seeds: Tough little dudes with three embryos in one seed, the seed can be planted outside in aprotected pot or prop tray so the seeds can go through their two year cycle to germinate. Cold Warm and then Cold again will germinate a portion of the seeds in the second year. Having them outside makes this much easier plus the seed is naturally scarred by the bacterial action of the soil. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep. Most of the time, the rodents seem to not find or eat them if buried deep enough.
