I have started the process of multi grafting my in ground mango trees. About a month ago I started adding scions to most of my trees and most have started pushing already!
So far I have compiled these combinations...
On Carrie (tree about 6 feet tall) - Mesk and Juliette
On Pineapple Pleasure (tree about 5 feet tall) - Gary, Coconut Cream, and Pina Colada
On Lemon Zest (tree about 8 feet tall) - Sweet Tart, Spirit of '76
On Cogshall (tree about 6 feet tall) - Mallika
On PPK (tree about 8 feet tall) - San Felipe, Fernandin, Cushman, Florigon, Zill, and Coconut Cream
On Ivory (tree about 9 feet tall) - ST Maui, and Keow Savoy
On NDM #4 (tree about 5 feet tall) - Fairchild
To be completed...
On Maha Chanok - Angie
On Pickering -?
On NDM? - ?
On J-12 - ?
Here are some photos some of the scions starting to push.. I have been using cleft grafts and side veneers with near 100% success!
Sheehan and I had made a trip to Sleepdoc's place last month and I was so impressed I had to get started!!

So far I have taken 7 varieties of my ten mango trees and turned them into 28 total varieties in the same space if successful.
I will post pics as they progress.. If one scion tries to take over the tree I will lop it off and open the canopy. I have been pruning my trees since planted so they have elaborate scaffolds to work with.
