Mango tree grafting in reverse node leaf direction...

[palmcity]

It looks like months ago I grafted one upside down to the normal leaf/node direction of the graft. It is interesting to see that it took and seems to be doing fine...

I thought some might like to see this in case they accidentally graft one upside down, they might want to just let it stay & see if it takes...

Am I 100% with 1 for 1 reverse nodal direction grafting... Doubtful ... But it is amusing and the first that I know I have accidentally grafted in reverse direction...

Wow, that’s funny but cool. Thanks for sharing. At least it’s working out for you.

haha! I did that once many years ago when shield budding a julie mango. The tree is still alive and well, it just has a weird U shape at the graft point.

I have done a few!  It is never an advantage.  The u-turn usually breaks--- if not right away, later.
