Even if the fruit bearing wood was grafted onto a root stock, let's take has an example a pear grafted onto a quince, seeds taken from the pear would manifest the gene pool of the pear. Quince genes would not manifest. But I wouldn't get the exact same pears I would be taking seeds from due to genetic recombination. Cloning is the only option.
The only tree I think is apt for getting air layering is the cherry but the others are too frail to have their branches loaded, so I'll try taking cuttings first.
