Good point. I was assuming the tree was on it's own roots, so that suckers
would be the same as stooling. I worked at the National Clonal Germplasm
Repository in Corvallis, Oregon and they had a tree of it that produced
regular crops, but only a small percentage of the nuts gave contorted
seedlings when we tried germinating some. They had it in tissue culture, as
well.
