I seperate only after the leaves have harden up... you then don't have any losses.... Mike

Brisbane in OZ at that time is in the middle of winter and no tropical fruit is around.... don't know about Brisbane in U.S.

I've found that if you separate after the leaves have harden up you don't have any trouble...Mike

My experience with these is that you have most success when you graft in the spring when the plants come out from their dormancy.
. What varieties are you grafting???? Mike

« on: November 22, 2019, 09:34:50 PM »
Avoman in OZ Reed is used commercially as a rootstock & nurseries pay Aus $1 per seed...... With a good potting mix they can be grafted at appox 12 inches in height..... Used far more than Zutano & Bacon..... Mike

Most  of our Commercial mangoes are crosses with Kensington Pride....R2E2 KP & Kent....Caipyso KP & Sensation....newer varieties NMBP 4069 KP & Van Dyke....NMBP 1201 KP & Irwin.....NMBP 1243 KP & Irwin...... others include Lady Jane & Lady Grace both R2E2 & Irwin .......  The mango that you will be eating from Gelson's would have been picked green  & not ripened on the tree...... In the case of R2E2 they are 10 times better if tree ripened ......I would love to hear from any one that get get some to try or perhaps Simon  or someone could tell us what the Brix reading is on these mangoes.......
