Which tree from a polyembryonic mango seed is true to type?

[chris1]

I’ve done searches and found mixed results. My NDM died but I have a Peach mango and Thai Everbearing both of which have one fairly tall and one much smaller stem. I would like. To. Trim the not true to type one back and research seems to show most people are of the opinion to trim the smaller one but some disagree. Is there a consensus here? Thanks!

Anyone?

A poly seed has multiple plants

So all of them will have a match

Use the search function from this forum to find a lot of information.

In Summary, you can’t really tell unless you use genetic markers.

For some Polyembryonic mango varieties, the dominant seedling is the clone but in other varieties, the weaker seedling is the clone.

If you work with a specific variety for a long time you may become familiar with it and be able to take educated guesses.

If you have a Polyembryonic seed and multiple sprouts come up, I would recommend you grow out at least two of the seedlings and there will be a chance you will get a clone.

A Polyembryonic seed can have more than one zygotic seedling come up and Monoembryonic variety seeds can have multiple sprouts but usually with one origin for the root so it is a very complicated subject.
