If you plan on grafting branches of it they need to be grafted to a root stock.

The purpose of grafting branches of a fruit tree to a root stock is to propagate a well fruited tree without changing the fruit from the expected result. Unfortunately, planting fruit seeds from well defined fruit does not necessarily give uniformity to the fruit and with several years given for propagation a whole generation of fruit could turn out badly, if they weren't grafted to a root stock, but grown from seed.

Genetically the tree gained from a successful grafting is a clone of the tree it came from and the fruit will bear exactly the same as the parent. The same cannot be said of one grown from seed.
