You can get some interesting and pleasant surprises . . . especially with a species like Acer palmatum.
I planted a handful of seed from an unknown cultivar of a red japanese maple that was growing on the grounds of the school where I work. A few of the seedlings are showing some unexpected genetic variation.
A couple are showing lace leaf characteristics

And then there is this freak
