Are Garcinias true to seed?

[BestDay]

What I'm trying to figure out is if seeds are obtained from a supposed superior strain of Garcinia does that mean that the seedling will have the same superior traits?  Sadhu at GOVARDHAN GARDENS has what he says is a sweet variety of Garcinia Madruno.  Is it worth trying to get seeds from this supposed superior strain?  If Garcinias aren't true to seed than seedlings from this variety could be average or subpar.  Am I correct with this reasoning?  I don't want to go thru the hassle of growing the plants from seeds if the resulting plants aren't going to carry the superior traits.

I've tried madrono from a few different sources. They are all sweet assuming they are ripe.

It makes sense to go with the best quality seeds.  In my experience garcinias come reasonably true to seed.

Ok.  So I guess my question now is has anyone tried the Madruno sweet variety that Sadhu is growing?  If so how much better is it?
