Can Root Stalk And Scion Come From The Same Tree

Question

Can a seedling and scion be grafted from the same tree? Let’s say I get an avocado from my tree and grow the seed. When the seedling is grown (root stock), can I then get a scion from the same tree and graft it on the root stock? Will that tree bear fruit like an avocado tree with a root stock and scion from a different tree?

Answer 1
