The clean, medium-green foliage appears in summer, followed by dark red fruits that ripen in July. ?? ? Starting from Seed: To cultivate your own Cornelian Cherries, sow seeds from fresh fruits in the fall, or stratify dried seeds for 23 weeks in cold conditions, or 16 weeks warm followed by 4-16 weeks cold. While germination can take 12-15 months, nicking the seed coat before stratification can help speed up the process. Once sprouted, seedlings will develop two large, irregular oval seed leaves, followed by the characteristic paired foliage. ?? ?
