I used to keep seedlings in hopes to fruit them to see it comes up a superior tasting variety. They took long time to grow. Then i realised i could fruit the seedling a bit sooner if i graft the scion of the seedling to established mango tree. The vigor of the established tree will help the seedling scion grow fast but i guess the waiting time for fruiting won’t change.
Ok got it. Fasciation is a rare phenomenon of an abnormal growth pattern of the stem caused by probably a mutation or trauma or viral infection etc due to various causes. Does fasciation actually change the variety, will it bea different variety altogether? or is it just aberration of certain genes of the plant?
