Default Do "dwarf" trees breed true from seed?

I have found a naturally-occurring dwarf alder. It looks normal in
every way except that it hasn't grown tall, the gap between annual
whorls of branches is much shorter than the normal alders around it.

Is this trait likely to breed true from seed?

I have no particular use in mind, it just struck me as an interesting
variant.
