>>122215>like those in the japanese pictures that bloom pink?I'm lucky to have both. A rather small 'regular' cherry tree for fruit production, and a large ented Japanese cherry tree for its sakura during spring. The fruit-producing one blooms white and rather modest most years, the other one blooms pink 'like those in the japanese pictures'.
>What are the best weather conditions for it?>Ho long does it take to grow?>Should I try planting seeds or but a young tree?I'd advise using google to get decent information. I myself am located in Belgium, what compares to your USDA zone 6b or 7. My cherries do fine and many people have one in their garden, for fruit or decorative purposes. Mine were both planted as young trees by my dad before I was born, about 27 years ago. Probably with what this anon
>>122283 said in mind. I'm in need of a new cherry tree too but won't be using seed from my on cherries, because I'll probably end up with a hybrid and not a tree comparable to the motherplant. I'm going to try my hand at taking softwood cuttings, and if those fail I'll probably buy one.
Do note that the japanese cherry has gone through some amateuristic pruning the last years which make it seem smaller; you don't need to wait 27years to get a very pretty tree. The fruiting cherry also had to deal with me building treehouses in it as a child with no regard to its health, and it's trunk has been diseased for over a decade. It still fruits in abundance if the conditions are right, but probably would've been bigger and more healthy if I left it alone.
