Right now is the time to be grafting mangos here in San Diego. One of my trees is a Manilla Seedlings, no more than 2 feet tall with a very thin trunk.
Should I graft onto this skinny tree? Ideally I would like to get this project taken care of, but is it smart for the health of the tree?
-
if in ground, ok to graft, if in Pot, I would put into ground and wait a year. grafted trees in pot if kept for longer times here in So Cal catch phomosis.

IT has been in ground for a while, but it is still very small.
What is phomosis?
-
Phomosis is fungal disease that causes dieback or branches and sudden death.
if your tree is not growing well, you must correct it first. grafting wont help. However, I have seen if you prune the stunted plant, it responds favorably.

I may be getting picky but its actually called Phomopsis.
