Next I want to try green on green, need to find budwood that is actively pushing, I have two small Hakip plants but they suck in growth. not sure what I need to do to boost their growth.

Congratulations on succesful graft. Let us know if they remain compatible?

How old is the graft? I'm wondering if the union is fully fused

Omg, I'm super excited now. Behl, what rootstock and scion did you use? I'm going to try innarching Kaimana and Emperor onto Kohala air layers. Please do keep us updated. I'm especially interested to see if you will get increase vigor and see less wind damage on newly emerging leaves. I'm also interested if the resulting Lychees will taste normal or if it'll have a Longan flavor. Please let me know if you decide to sell this tree!

Why would it have a longan flavor? Do good mangoes grafted on turpentine rootstock have a turpentine taste?
BTW, lychee and longan flowers can be and have been crossed to produce new fruit, but the fruit has sterile seeds.

Be careful -- the new union might be able to walk :)
