If hybrids produce seeds that aren’t ‘true-to-type’, then how do they keep making the same ones every year?

You gotta scion, man! I have one scion whose graft "took", out of 10 attempts. Locally developed [pecan] variety, very hard to acquire. David the Good stated it in one of his books, "...Take some vodka too, you can disinfect your knife and drink it, to give you courage to graft."
