permanent clones??

Dear Ben:
Thanks for your posting. Re clones, surely our apple clones, Cox's
Orange Pippin, as an example, is still the same today as many years ago?
The same with all other fruit clones that have been around, some for
well over 100 years. Why have they not changed? Cheers, John E. Bryan

I am sure every clone will in time accumulate rare mutations
Actually if a single clone is multiplied in two different locations by
two different people they will in time differ It may be sometime
before a visible mutation has happened
