[nafex] Seed Variation - Apples

[Tom Olenio <tolenio@sentex.net>]

Hello List,

Quick question on the variation from parent in apple seedlings.

I have learned from this list that stone fruit seedlings will be true to the
parent 80-85% of the time, but apple seedlings are not true to their parent
tree.

I have never seen a number as to to variation rate of apple seedlings to their
parent.  Is it 100%?

Have they ever measured the types of changes that occur, or is totally random?

Thank you.

Tom
