Nothing will change the fruit. or the taste of the fruit. It's the seeds that may genetically change the future generations of trees.





That is why Fruit trees are made from cuttings from a pure variety of that fruit and set onto a tree of the same species.


For example a granny smith branch can be grafted onto another breed of apple but not on a pear tree.


You can also have several branches grafted onto the same tree from different variations of that fruit but the actual fruit from that branch will always taste and be similar to the original tree it was cut from - similar to cloning
