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.

Well, I have a cherry tree in a pot, about 20 years old, grown from a
shop-bought cherry. For the last 5 or so years it has flowered and
fruited, with no apparent pollinator nearby, and the fruit is quite
acceptable both to me and the birds. The tree is virtually a bonsai
and will stay so unless I move somewhere with a bigger garden, so I've
no idea how big it could grow.
