hmm... i think the generally, like a lot of fruit trees, unless it's been grafted there is no guarantee what the fruit will be like. it won't be the same as the fruit from which the stone was taken.
however if you want to give it a go, these stones need a period of cold before they will germinate. i some greengage stones in the fridge for a couple of months before planting, and one popped up a couple of weeks ago.
