Kankan,
Grafting some of your rootstock shoots onto those other rootstocks is a good idea. You could end up with a male or you could get lucky and get a seedling that produces good quality fruit.
I don’t know what they use in the commercial orchards in China but I assume it’s just random seeds. From doing research on other fruit crops however, I know that the rootstocks can affect growth rate, production and quality of the fruit. This doesn’t mean that it does the same for Yangmei but there is the possibility.
