They will need to be chilled first, or "winter-sown" outside in a pot of soil.

Caroline, you should know that you will get a cherry tree by sowing seeds you saved of commercial fruit, but it isn't likely the fruit will resemble what you ate. Most cherries offered in grocery stores are from grafted or hybrid trees and the seedlings will vary.
