Is it possible to grow an orange or cherry tree from fruits u got from store?

Has anyone ever tried to grow an orange/tangerine or cherry tree from the seed you got from fruits you bought from the grocery store? If so, how long would you have to let the seeds 'dry out' for before planting them in soil?

You can grow plants from the seeds you get in fruit from the store. However, a lot of fruit seeds have fairly specific requirements that need to be met before they will germinate. For instance cherries pits have to be 'overwintered' or put in the refrigerator or freezer for several months and then warmed up and kept well watered before they will germinate. In many cases, however, the resulting fruit tree may not produce fruit that is as sweet or as desirable as the fruit it came from.
Reply:if they are fresh from the produce section NOT IN CANS!! then the seeds should be good. maybe find some directions on the internet to help grow them. my brother took seeds from a fresh lemon and he's now got a nice looking but still small tree. Miracle Potting Mix works great when planting new plants.
Reply:Citris seeds need to be planted while still fresh, moist, out of the fruit. Do not dry them.





Cherry seeds can be dried, and may need to be scarrified, or stratified.





The thing is the fruit you get may be anything, and not so yummy. No telling. And it will take a few years before they start to bare.
Reply:I've grown papaya with the fruits i got at the store. (bad idea though cuase papaya is no good in dry area.) I am pretty sure other fruits will work too!
Reply:yes. they are very easy. give only one month. mine is 7 inches tall and not even a year old.





this is an orange tree





i didnt even dry them out i just put them in the soil
Reply:Cherries worked well. Found out the hard way with citrus. Alot of table quality citrus grows on trees that were grafted, the good fruit you get in the store doesnt produce a really strong/healthy base tree. So they graft it on to a sour orange stock tree and it produces some nice fruit. I have grown lemons from supermarket fruit and they did real well.
Reply:You may have to keep them moist in peat moss outside in the cold all winter so they will germinate in the spring.
Reply:ya it's possible but the the only thing is that .. drop seeds in to soil before they got dry ..





and ya .. before droping seeds .. drop some water on soil too .. and daily in morning timings give water to soil .. and put that pot or anything in which you seeding in open air .. so that it can have sun light ..
