Default Apricot seedling

Almost everyone will advise you not to start a good tree from a pit or seed.
The fruit will not be the same as the one it came from. However, I was
given several peach trees that grew when they were thrown into a compost
pile and left over the winter. In the spring, they started coming up, were
potted, given to me and I planted them.

After 3 or 4 years they started having fruit. One tree would ripen and
about a week or 10 days the second would ripen. The fruit tasted good, but
I didn't buy the basket of peaches initially and cant tell you what kind
they were.

Buying a tree will give you fruit faster, and you will know what you are
getting. Other wise, go ahead and get the seeds to sprout and plant the new
trees.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has any infromation about seeding and
starting fruit trees from the pits? Specifically peach, apricot and
plum? Thank you for any info or even a good reference to find out
more.
