Seven fruit trees you can grow from seeds

Cherry trees are super resilient when it comes to cold weather, so an ideal choice even during the winter months.

To grow your own at home, simply follow these steps:

1. Wash the seeds, known as stones, and make sure you remove all the pulp.

2. To speed up the germination process, gently rub your cherry stones on a rough surface.

3. Place all the stones on some damp kitchen roll in a plastic container and put the container in the refrigerator.

4. Once you see that they are germinating, plant them in the garden.

After that, you'll need a bit of patience: cherry trees can take up to five years to bear fruit, but it's well worth the wait!

You can grow your own lemon tree directly from the seeds of a lemon. It grows nicely in both pots and the garden.

To grow an avocado tree, you must first remove the stone from the fruit and wash it.

Next, insert three or four toothpicks into the centre of the stone and carefully place it in a glass of water, as shown in the photo. After a few weeks, you will see a root begin to sprout from the bottom. Once the root has reached a length of 10 cm, you must remove the stone from the glass, take out the toothpicks and plant it in a pot.

Smashed avocado anyone?
