Just to revive this thread -- anyone in California (especially outside of the LA area, where Mangos do well) have any recommendations on which store mangoes yield vigorous seedlings / trees? At the store right now there are Keitt, Ataulfo, Kent, Hayden, and Tommy Atkins. I'm thinking of seeding multiple and doing approach grafts with them to set up a multi-rootstock situation, but wasn't sure which are the best bet.Thanks!
Can grafting only be done on to a seedling?Or can one graft on to a healthy grown tree that is a grafted one to begin with?My Graham is 8-9 feet tall, very healthy with excellent branching, but it is not very productive and the fruit are mediocre. Wondering if it is possible to graft other mango varieties on to it. Or cut it down and start all over again with another tree in that spot.Someone posted a link to a video on mango grafting techniques, and I'm getting ideas. But from the video, it was not clear whether the trees getting the grafts were grown from seed (with tap root) or were themselves grafted varieties.
