Does my rootstock look like C35?
I'm not sure what C-35 leaves look like, maybe someone else can answer that. But it's definitely either trifoliate or some trifoliate hybrid like citrange (C-35, Carrizo, etc), and Eureka is incompatible with most of those. Did you happen to save the original nursery tags or photograph them? The rootstock is sometimes coded on them (e.g., if it has CZO in the code then that's Carrizo).
Squam mentions foliar feeding mangoes when addressing someone's question in this videoI don't think foliar feeding would be effective because there is no efficient way for the tree to take in the nutrients, since the leaves and stem aren't meant to take in nutrients the way roots do. if anything, it could be harmful to the leaves. to me it sounds like pseudoscience, but I have no experience in foliar feeding and not much in mangoes, take me with a grain of salt.
Are you specifically referencing mango trees or all trees? Its a very established practice with quite a few other types of trees like citrus for example. I have been given fish emulsion when I first got into trees from a large citrus nursery and told to hit all citrus leaves, top and bottom, once a month. While I havent kept up that regimen over the years I do do it several times a year and only my greening trees seem to not get real effects from it(color-wise). I would assume mangos get the same benefit.
Interesting, Sangue e Latte grafts seem normal in Italy and in the rest of the Mediterranean, it's also a strong grower as a rootstock.
Kaz, how does Dmor9 compare to Red Himalayan please?
