The primary reason is growing fruit trees from seed produces an unknown quality of tree.


The problem is with fruits that aren't true to seed. Guacamole and almost all apples are examples of fruit that don't grow true to seed. You might have a 1 in a thousand chance of getting (good) edible fruit when you plant a gauc pit or apple seed. Peaches and nectarines are true to seed BUT they have to be pollinated by a tree of the same variety. Citrus fruit are generally true to seed.


I too am curious as to the OP's desire for a non-grafted tree.

Ok I get the issue with playing from seed but what about rooting a cutting from a known producing tree. Instead of grafting.
