Default Cherry trees from pits?

Hi Pat,
Your idea is really the pits. Don't expect your planted seedling to produce
cheeries like the original ones on the tree. You will probably wind up with
some bad tasting fruit with some mixture of the tree's recessive genes and
possibly something from a neighbor's who knows what.
Get some proper cherry rootstock and graft the cherry of your choice on
to it. Who wants to nuture a tree for 10 years only to find out it came
out a bummer.

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!
