Prunus avium ambrunes
SWEET STEMLESS CHERRY Picota
SKU: 1158-3
Description
Picota is a sweet cherry. Picota cherries naturally separate from their stalks when picked, leading them to be referred to as "stemless" or "stalkless" cherries. The term "Picota" means "peaked" – this refers to the shape of the cherries, which have a slight peak at the end.
Type: Hardy fruit tree
Hardiness zones: 4-10
Height: 3-4 m
Location: Sun
Seeds per pack: 3
Note: The seeds and leaves of prunus contain poisons. Do not eat them.
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a seed-start mix, and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 4 months. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 4 months. Be sure they stay lightly moist. Then bring them to approximately 21°C, 70°F for germination.
