Mangifera pajang graft
« on: August 08, 2013, 03:39:33 PM »
Last January my friend recieved some M. pajang seeds. In the green house the seeds germinated very fast and very well, but after a few month they started to decline, showing sings of stress. Something was wrong with the soils/roots. In an attemp of saving this mangifera, my friend decided to graft some material on M. casturi rootstock. This is the result of his experiment:








Let's hope for a good long term compabitibility...

Wow Felipe, your friend has the touch!  I wonder if they'd survive on M. indica too?

Thanks for the great info!

Dear Ethan, he also tried on M. indica and other species, but it only worked out on casturi...

Thank you Felipe.  I believe casturi is compatible w/M. indica?  I wonder if you could use casturi as an interstem between M. indica and M. caesia?

Your friend is so good, he could probably even graft mamey onto avocado for Luc! ;D
