The fruit characteristics may be upto 85 per cent similar but still there is
no guarantee and it will depend upon luck.

But the growth, vigour, fruiting and many other characteristics of the
grafted plants differ a lot than the seedlings. So the seed should be used
only when it is not ordinarily possible to get asexually propagated plant
material.
