After eating quite a few fruits, I was able to find a few seeds in purchased Dekopon(Sumo) fruits. The seeds were planted 6 months ago, and seedlings all appear to be similar. When they are mature, I'm going to graft on PT rootstock. Does anyone know if Dekopons are "true"? Thanks

Nicky, the Sumo seed I found last spring had multiple embryos. If I understand correctly, this means it should come true.
Btw, my seedling is much less impressively looking than yours, congratulations!

I also had multiple embryos from some of the seeds. Finding seeds was a "thrill of the hunt".
