Lon,
So the inherited trait is variety specific, as opposed to tree specific?

"Bing" cherry will produce a lot of doubles in California's central valley, but almost none here in the NW.  Dr. H.P. Olmo grew out seedlings of Bing and selected some that resembled Bing, but produced a much lower percentage of doubles.   At least one was released under the name of Brooks.
