You might as well remove all of the leaves. Those aren't going to come back. It will probably resprout from the trunk. And like was said before, cover it with plastic to keep up humidity and don't water it too much. Keep the soil moist but not heavy and wet.

One month update:
Looking like a success. Planning to stick it in the ground next to the other one in the spring.

Oh that's too bad. Did the growth flush fully harden off? I'm just curious if these are compatible long term.

Can you get a pic of the other side of he graft? I'm curious to see how thick the scion was. I'm assuming the part that is visible is the mango stock by the way the wood looks. I tried this combo years ago but the scions were really thin and failed. I'm wondering if wider scions work better.

After you removed the ring of bark did you scrape the exposed wood as well?

Seebabat is supposed to be self fertile.

It is, though you would probably get better production with another male tree in its vicinity.

For now I'll be happy to get it to recover from the bare rooting. My other grafted one is doing well and I have a couple seedlings doing well but this is the first that I have that has been bare rooted. I'm definitely going to baby it for the next couple months. I can probably get some budwood from a male tree in puerto rico next summer but getting the graft to take seems unlikely. So far I have only seen approach grafts on pulasan but I imagine other grafting techniques are  probably used in their native region. I set up a wedge graft on a seedling from the branch that broke in shipping. It seemed to line up well but I'm still doubtful it will succeed.

This made it today in pretty good shape. I actually think it may be getting ready to push flowers. I can't  tell for sure but some of the buds don't look like leaf buds to me. I've never seen pulasan flower buds though so I'm not positive. It's a seebabat. Hopefully it recovers well from the bare rooting.

Rollinia doesn't come remotely close to even an average cherimoya IMO.

Nice. How big is the tree? I've got a few grafted ones that I'm hoping will fruit before I die.

Are you sure your lemon zest is a lemon zest? Do you have a pic of the tree?

They changed it to 3 days for certain areas/regions (such as Florida to NY) and did it within the last month or so.

I've about had enough with the post office for a variety of reasons and may switch to one of the other carriers next year.

FedEx is pretty good. I ship a lot of overnight packages with them and get a decent discount through my account. If you are shipping a good amount of boxes they give nice rates.

I am curious about these fruits as well. Years ago I was walking through Chinatown and there was a Malay or Indonesian fruit vendor selling tiny yellow mangoes. I thought they were just another variety of mango or immature fruit but they were deliciously sweet and the seeds were somewhat small. The entire fruit was only the size of a kiwi. I have some dried fruit from them still and I didn't try to plant any as again at first I thought they were immature regular mangoes. If anyone knows the variety or species, it would be great, but It sound somewhat similar to this species in my opinion.

Sounds like a maprang.
