You seem very focused on the sweetness of a fruit. Many of us here are more interested in flavor.
Beautiful tree, wish mine looks like yours. Can’t compare Arkansas to you guys premium States. I love what mine produces. Same with figs, very happy with the varieties I grow. Over a dozen varieties, need no more, plenty good. Most are top 10. Not interested with the next best citrus or fig. I already grows theeeee best!

It depends on the pollen source and the type of seed. Only a minor fraction of the seeds in a fruit are true to type.
