self pollinating sweet cherries come pretty close to their parentage from seed and the beauty is if it doesnt come tru you can graft what you want on it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While self-pollinating sweet cherries are more predictable than cross-pollinated varieties, they still produce offspring with significant genetic variation<\/div>\n

. Growing from seed remains a “game of chance,” though your strategy of using the seedling as a fallback rootstock for grafting is highly effective. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Genetic Reality of Seed-Grown Cherries<\/div>\n
Genetic Variation:<\/strong> Cherry seeds are the result of sexual reproduction, meaning each seed is a unique hybrid of its parents’ DNA. Even in self-pollinating trees like Stella<\/strong> or Lapins<\/strong>, the seeds are not exact clones and will likely differ in fruit quality, size, and tree habit.<\/span><\/div>\n
