Yes, you can grow it from the stone, but you need to break the stone open and remove the smaller, almond-like kernel.

Take the kernel plant it in a small dish filled with moist peat or other seed starting medium. Put this in the refrigerator for a few weeks to simulate winter. This helps the seed break dormancy.

Remember to keep it moist. When you start to see roots, it is safe to put it out. Alternately you can plant it directly into a large pot (I use a ten gallon tree pot) that will stay outside all winter. Next spring, your seedling should pop up. Make sure you protect the tender new seedling from any below-freezing nights.
