polyembryonic seedlings are more likely to give the same fruit as the mom
plant. I have been working on a polyembryonic seedling and the young are
just like the mom. I had about 20 grafted Mango trees that were giving me
great fruit then the big 1990 freeze and all but 1 died below the graft so
now I feel if I can get a few good seedlings growing I will be way better
off. So I am always on the look out for good polyembryonic seeds.
