Thank you for the very detailed replies. Do you reckon it would be
possible to grow a seed and name the young tree as a new variety before
the fruit has even developed, no matter how disease-prone or disgusting
the fruit may turn out to be? Judging by your answers, it looks like a
no though.




Of course you can name it; it's your tree! And it's an original.
Registering the name might be a different matter. (Wouldn't it be
embarrassing to register a new variety and have it be small, bitter, and
disease prone?

Best regards,
