MASTER GARDENER TO THE RESCUE
Seriously, all the above answers are wrong. Almost all the fruit you see in the stores today come from hybrid, grafted root stock. the roots and bottom of the trunk come from a fast growing, poorly producing tree while the upper part come from a clipping taking for a special hybrid. that's where the good fruit comes from. unfortunately, the seed or stone from that good fruit comes from the grafted root stock. if planted you will end up with a fast growing, weedy looking bush that will put out a small amount of crummy fruit not worth eating. your best bet is to buy a grafted, already growing tree from a good local nursery and not waste 3 or 4 years of your life waiting for something that is never going to happen.
People should not answer questions if they are not 100% positive of their answer. unfortunately that happens a lot here at answers.

Only if two were planted or there is another of the same fruit tree not far away, they must cross pollinate in order to reproduce. Also it usually takes three to five years before it will bear fruit, depending on the variety.

A fruit tree will give bear fruit only if it's a bear tree. Apple trees, for example will give apples.

for a fruit tree to bear fruit, you need at least 2 of them, as they pollenate one another.

It depends. If the fruit has been put in the fridge it all it may or may not even sprout.
