Note: These are pre-stratified Prunus seeds ready for sowing as soon as you receive them. Due to the difficulty in germinating these seeds, we make no warranty to replace seeds that do not germinate.
PR02 Wild Black Cherry (Prunus virginiana)
For zones 2-6. A medium size cherry tree; height usually not over 20 to 25 feet, diameter 4 to 8 inches; with an irregular, rounded crown. Bright green, broadly oval leaves, paler underneath; length 3 to 4 inches, width 1 to 2 inches. Fruit is in dense clusters; reddish, turning nearly black when fully ripe; each berry containing a single seed, skin of fruit thick; flesh thin and dark; very astringent to the taste, but edible. Popular tree for birds. Most widely distributed tree in North America, extending from the Arctic Circle to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Rockies. $2.50 Per Pack of 10 seeds.PR04 Apricot (Prunus armeniaca)
The apricot tree of commerce, a hardy tree, bearing stone fruit, closely related to the peach. Grows to about 35 feet. The leaves are broad and roundish, with pointed apex; smooth; margin, finely serrated; petiole 1/2 inch to an inch long, generally tinged with red. The flowers are pinkish white, with five regular sepals and petals and many stamens, and open very early in the spring. The fruit, which ripens end of July to mid-August, is a drupe, like the plum, with a thin outer, downy skin enclosing the yellow flesh (mesocarp), the inner layers becoming woody and forming the large, smooth, compressed stone, the ovule ripening into the kernel, or seed. $2.50 Per Pack of 5 seeds.PR05 Bird Cherry (Prunus Avium)
For zones 3 to 8. Grows to about 40 ft, spread of about 35 ft. The white flowers appear in April or May. The fall color is bronze and red. Wild cherry, also known as bird cherry, or mazzard cherry is very attractive when in bloom and its autumn fruits - when you are able to gather them before the birds do - are good to eat. Of course as with most prunus types, the leaves, twigs and pits are considered poisonious.PR08 Wild Black Cherry Prunus serotina
A fast growing cherry for zones 2-8. Grows in pyramidal to conical shape 50-75
feet tall. Leaf: 2 to 5" alternate, simple leaves; yellow to red fall color.

reddish black edible berries in summer that attract birds.
$2.50 Per Pack of 10 seeds.

The plant is often purchased by homeowners as a smaller substitute for tart cherry. $2.50 Per Pack of 10 seeds.
