Topworking cogshall
sunworshiper:
I'm converting to Fairchild and Honeykiss. Cogshsll has nice flavor but too much jelly seed for my liking. I cut it back hard in May - will have to post that pic later it is on a different device. Wasn't able to find bud wood for a long time - so it grew a lot! I did no tipping or shaping, interesting to see when it branched on its own - after about 2 feet.
Cut back to see what I have to work with
And all grafted!

I believe to help mitigate your jelly seed, you can pick the cogshall at a mature green stage. Also I think a lack of calcium contributes to increased jelly seed in mango. I think the fairchild and honeykiss are good mangoes to graft to it. Good luck!
Cookie Monster:
Yep.

Thanks. There is another thread with my attempts to improve the jelly seed. Calcium picking early etc - they help but don't fully eliminate the issue. Hoping the new varieties aren't so finicky to ripen properly.

bud or veneer grafts? It looks like veneer graft to me.
