Epicotyl grafting of avocados has been standard here for well over half a century.
I have done this with many jackfruits also.
I imagine it could work well with mangos from large mono-embryonic seeds, after the base of the shoot has hardened up and turned green. Most Turpentine embryos would not likely have enough stored nutrients for this technique.
Hi Har,
I agree! My first exposure seeing this method was around 3 years ago from a Californian site, that does this method commercially.
Haven't tried an epicotyl graft on Jackfruit. Maybe using seeds from a jackfruit that are large. Maybe, seeds from a Blackgold Jackfruit?
In India they prefer to us a mono-embryonic seed and plant the seed vertically, so that the seed are easily uprooted from the raised beds with not much damage to root system.
Steven,
thanks for posting the video. I have just grafted about a 100 of avos using this same technique over the last 2 weeks. It is my second season doing it this way. I had great success last year (about 80 %). Hopefully it will be same or even better this year
Guanabanus,
i would be interested in getting more informations about your experience with epicotyl grafting on jackfruits. I have tried many different techniques with jackfruits (from approach to top wedge, side veneer, chip budding...) and till now i have not found any satisfactory method. How old are the rootstocks when you graft? what season? do you cover your grafts with plastic and for how long? from my last attempts i remember having some difficulties with the rot of scions...
thanks to all for sharing,
Hi Samuel,
That's amazing, 100 Avocodo epi's
Hope you get all to take this year
I have only done around 6
and lost one, which i was experimented with using a soft-wood scion.
Regarding the Jackfruit epicotyl grafting, there must be feral jackfruits on your island that produce large seeds for epicotyl grafting, Just a matter of looking for them. I reckon these feral jackfruits will make an excellent rootstock.
so u finally made it to stickydom huh, jackwhisper??? how's it feel 2 b famous ?
o btw, forgot to mention, what's up with the used pamper looking pots??? where did u get those diaper looking grow bags??
