Sold out for now 'Providence' mango sold out for now
« on: May 20, 2014, 06:08:48 PM »
I have some small 'Providence' mango grafts for sale. They were veneer grafted on Orange Sherbert seedlings in March and seem to be pretty vigorous. These are late season mangos that get rather large. If anyone is interested I can pm some pics. Sold out for now....sorry nothing left...thanks for the inquiries...I'll update when available.

How vigorous are they?  The rootstock must have some effect on it as Providence is not a vigorous grower.  It is actually somewhat to actually being compact.

As far as vigour I'm referencing more and faster growth than the other random seedlings I've grafted onto. It seems some of these grafts just push faster than others and with a quicker leafing out.  Some others I've noticed that seem to take fast and leaf out are on lemon zest seedlings. I will definitely try experimenting with more seedlings from various mangos this year as there is a definite influence on takes and speed of growth. These also received a constant 5-1-1 and kelp drench with every watering using only rain water. I'm sure the 5-1-1 fish emulsion played a big part as I was trying to push these as fast as possible. Most of my grafts didn't get such special attention but I only had a few pieces of budwood from my tree when I was grafting so I wanted to make them count.
