Maprang

How is this fruit it took on my ataulfo rootstock? Cold hardy? I like how the new growth looks.

Wow, way to go JF. I've heard of Maprang graft on the mango, but never seen it. I can't wait to see the progress. If you ever put any for sale, put me on the customer list. :)

Good job JF , what kind of graft did you do ? I have a mature maprang , flowered this year but no fruitset so I'll be on the lookout for mango rootstock

I did a side veneer with the maprang and Mangifera odorata on the same tree and they both took. I'm excited to try them if they survive our climate.

can you pls post some pix in this thread? I love to hear your comments on the fruit.

JF I have posted pictures and made comments on past threads a number of times.I think maybe I have given a few species like maprang,abius and a couple of Artocarpus too much They are not uncommon around here and there are some good selections.I don't know of anyone else who has a Wan seedling in my neck of the woods.

Maprang is a very nice tasting fruit. Getting them to fruit in Southern California will be a real challenge. Perhaps having them on hardier mango rootstock will help. Certainly worth a try. Don't think anyone has managed to fruit maprang in southern California. It would be a lot easier in southern Florida.

I'll do a search on the forum to check out your earlier comments. The other scions that took are Mangifera odorata would this be easier to fruit in our climate?

Yes i think Mangifere odorata (Kuini) is going to be a whole lot easier to fruit in S. Cal. than maprang.

Hey JF. I am really interested if you Maprang and odorata are still growing on your Ataulfo rootstock. All of my Maprang seedlings seem to have really weak root systems compared to mango. I would like to give them a boost.

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.

Maprang seedlings are very temperamental and susceptible to root fungal issues/rot.

This was one of the trees I eliminated when I remodeled my backyard. I didn't like M. foetida or laurina
I figure this one wasn't worth preserving.....the graft ended dying after transplant.

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

Yes it had a few flush took the winter well and when I removed it in April 2016 it was blooming. I had two maprang graft on this tree that took. The rootstock I believe was ataulfo or Manila

Nice. I'll have to give a few more of these a try.
