Default Cherry trees from pits?

The pits need to be kept cool for a while before they will sprout. I'm
not sure about the specifics.

Once you have invested a few years into it, you will probably get
cherries (assuming you have enough trees that are sufficiently unrelated
to successfully cross-pollinate). They will not be the same kind of
cherries that the pits came from, however. They may or may not be what
you want.

Most cherries are reproduced vegetatively (cloned).

Anyone know about growing these? I have about 50 pits, and space to

plant
them, but haven't ever tried it before and want to have a good shot at
success.

Thanks for any tips!
