mango rootstock differences
« on: December 20, 2014, 07:54:58 AM »
Did anybody test the same scions on different rootstocks? What were the results?

I can test it myself but maybe somebody allready did it and can give some advice about which rootstocks to use. I want to get offseason blooming tree's, or tree's that bloom all year.

Its not just a cut and dry answer.   The same rootstock can have differing on different varieties when grafted onto it.  For instance,  it may dwarf one variety but have no effect on another.  There are many variables that makes this answer impossible.  Rootstock experimenting has been done by the Zill family for decades and it is still what they call a "work in progress" and highly experimental.

Allright but maybe there are allready known combinations of rootstock and scion and what the results of those are.

I wonder what the Thai use for rootstock, i guess just any seed that they were eating that day but i might be wrong.

Also i see nursery's airlayering mango and that made me start thinking about it.

Myself i just graft where i like on my tree, i have scions with an interstock and without that but i don't see any difference yet.

This is interesting though, especially for the commercial orchards. If i had more space to grow mango's i would try everything out.
