Clone x Clone Reproduction - Carolina Sapphires Gone Wild

I've had 2 Carolina Sapphires (Arizona Cypress cultivar) suddenly start cone production 2 yrs ago. They were 160' apart. Pulled some of the cones this past fall at maturation and planted the seeds. Have had 12 of them sprout so far.
Assume the results will most likely be near exact copies of the parents. Has anyone had this happen (mating of 2 cultivar clones)? If so were the offspring mostly exact matches of the parents? Or were some different traits noticed also?
If these live past the damping-off danger will post pictures and update in a few months.
