seed
The easy-care ornamental wood is ideal for a variety of fruits. The seeds are not suitable for consumption, but they are used for reproduction.
shoots
In addition, you can always observe new shoots in these rose plants. From these small plantlets can be pulled. These young shoots are cut slightly obliquely after harvesting. In the frost-protected garden house or alternatively in the greenhouse, the cuttings hibernate in the ground. They already start with rooting. In spring (April to May) you can plant them in the garden.
Note:
Blood plums grown from seeds or shoots do not bloom. A refinement by a specialist is necessary.
Attention: wild shoots
However, with increasing size and age, wild shoots deprive the large trees of valuable nutrients. In addition, they impede the unrestricted incidence of light and the supply of water. Since these shoots are difficult to remove from the ground from an appropriate size, the following tips prove useful:

This complex method serves the propagation of all fruit trees. Between June and August, the gardener ennobles young plants. In most cases, the specialty market offers stem-refined blood plums. The Prunus cerasifera Nigra is one of the preferred varieties.
Almost exclusively you will find Flachwurzler. These are blood plums that have been refined on sweet wild plums. Alternatively, the offer also includes stem-refined specimens.
Tips & Tricks
The small shoots to the side of the trunk differ significantly from the mother plant. These are not for the cultivation of new trees. If these are removed, sufficient water and nutrients are guaranteed.
