    Whether a plant species is hybridized has little effect on whether it grows true from seed or only via cuttings.

    Wild maple trees for example do not grow true from seed.

      I don’t think you quite understand what a hybrid for annual crops is. Hybrids in trees are fundamentally different. Same word different meaning.

        Sexual reproduction via flowers+seeds.

        When self-fertilizing, the offspring are not identical.

          Oh OK, that makes sense - you’re talking about clones right? I thought you were saying that they don’t even come out the same species 🤣
