I have had good success airlayering Valencia Pride Mango. It was slow to root (compared to lychee) and takes a little longer to establish, but is doing great now and has produced several fruits.

Wow that's first time I've heard someone got fruit from airlayer mango tree. Does it have alot of roots when you airlayer? How long does it take?

Wow that's first time I've heard someone got fruit from airlayer mango tree. Does it have alot of roots when you airlayer? How long does it take?No, it did not have as many roots as lychee and several of the layers died because of this. I want to say that it took 5-6 months for enough roots to develop to be cut. I think It was 3-4 years before it fruited. The tree does seem somewhat dwarfed similar to Orkine's comments, but Valencia Pride is a very vigorous tree, so this may be a good thing.
Greenerpasteur, that is a noce layer. Based on the picture, I assume the branch was close to an inch I, diameter. Is that correct? What variety is it?
