Sounds like a good plan. I am sure one will germinate if you stick it in the fridge with some moisture. A big seed usually has a lot of punch to get started. I would give it two months, then check weekly for signs of roots. Cherry trees often start to grow and blossom even when the ground is still nearly frozen.

Whaatt serious must I leave in the in the fridge until they germinate in soil? Thing is as you know I live in a very Sunny very hot climate and I really want to grow them but I hear they dont like too much heat? Any ideas? Cheer$;)
Yes, I have the reverse issue when I consider how to keep my citrus trees alive. They won't make it unless I keep them indoors. With people in the warm climates, there isn't an easy way to keep things cold. Cherries and Apples won't form fruit unless they get a certain number of cold hours in a year. You can probably get the seeds to sprout in the fridge, but can you also ensure the outdoors provide the cold freezing temperatures it needs during the winter?
Might I suggest growing a tree that better represents your country and region?
Do cherries come from the mountainous elevations or another country from where you live?
Hey bruv.. I am germinating Boabab's too and nothing represents Africa better than that, thought I would try cherries too though since the seeds were free, boababs I bought can't wait for those to germinate. So really the Cherry seeds will literally germinate in the Fridge with no light?? Thanks brother appreciate!
