Cultivars are grafted so that the characteristics of the fruit stock (taste, ease of pollination, etc.) are preserved. Also, growing this species of plant from seed in your climate means that you wait a decade for your 1st crop.

Just because someone in California is selling plants does not mean that they are California cultivars.
