Greetings growers,
I got a question for you experienced grafters, I want to top work a Valencia Pride mango tree to a Honey Kiss. The VP is about 5 years old now so it has some decent sized mature branches. The question is if I prune to top work and graft, will the lower buds of the Valencia Pride push out and eventually branch out? Is it as simple as pinching off the new growth under the grafts? Thanks for the help.
