Crops have a chance of just creating more of one of the original two crops. Crossbreeds are also random, reed + reed/wheat + reed are apparently more likely to result in stickreed. Cross breeding is sometimes used to just get the stats up of another plant. It will only sometimes mutate into a new plant.
