[NAFEX] Germinating Cherry Seed

Late rains took half my first-ever sweet cherry crop. I thought  
perhaps I could salvage something from the tragedy by using the seeds  
to see if I get anything useful for rootstock or low-chill breeding.  
I know I have to stratify the seed but it's unclear to me whether I  
need to scarify it as well. Also, how long does it take a cherry  
grown from seed to reach bearing maturity?

Thanks!
