Im getting ready to graft mangoes for the first time from budwood I got from JF (thanks). I'm not completely new to grafting, Ive done apples, plums, and peaches, but i usually stick to the brutally effective cleft graft. After reading this forum and watching tons of youtube videos im thinking of using a side cleft graft or a veneer graft.
The problem from my point is its hard to tell from the videos what is the difference between the cut on the rootstock between both techniques.
Can anyone with knowledge of both, techniques detail what are the differences, if any?
Which technique would be more successful for a first time mango grafter? What kind of success, if any can I expect?
Thanks.
