Title: Re: [NAFEX] Grapes? It depends some on the variety you take the seed from. A few vinifera grapes will produce a limited number of seedlings with a visible resemblence to the parent, but the odds of getting a seedling that is even really close to the parent are very small, down to nonexistent, with most grapes other than pure species.
If you want proof, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of seedlings of Concord grown from self-pollinated seed and none of them are even close to being the same. In some cases, it's apparent what the parent was, but the plants are NOT the same as the seed source.

Hello,
I understand that grapes do not come true from seed, but what are the
chances that vine produced by a seed will be similar to it's parent?
I have learned from this list that stone fruit will average about 80% of
the characteristics of the parent, but what about grapes?
Thanks,
Tom
