Quick question to settle a disagreement:

Can you grow a cherry tree from a stone from a bought cherry or are the
stones (usually) sterile?

Tony.


Even if you can grow a cherry, its quite possible that the tree
might grow unacceptably large.

This is because the fruiting scions of many fruit trees are
grafted onto a rooting stock, dwarf, semi-dwarf, etc, which limits
the overall size of the tree. Both for reasons of space, and easier
harvesting.

And for soil type
