Eggo: Your grafts look great and have grown a lot since I saw them. Great job!
BTW, unfortunately, the NDM scion you gave me never took. When I looked carefully, it seemed that I did not align it well with root stock. Thanks again for your generosity.

@hawkfish007: I think you may be correct - probably my root stock is not very healthy. Some of it's leaves have dried edges which I had thought to be due to powdery mildew in winter. However, tree keeps showing new growth in different branches making me think that root stock is overall healthy.
Since my initial post, leaves on the scions have dried up. I checked the graft union which was well healed. Will try to graft again next year.

Thank you Seanny, will certainly try that.
@Victoria Ave: I live in Irvine about 10 miles from ocean and it is not very hot here. I have killed a few mango trees by over watering them. So, I am trying to be extra careful to avoid over watering. Obviously, it is much hotter in Riverside and your tree will need lot more water. than mine.

Have not fertilized recently. Seedling is in the ground and gets watered thru a drip system with 3 emitters of 1 gph each, for 30 minutes every 5 days.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / What is wrong with my mango grafts?
« on: July 12, 2022, 08:11:52 PM »
I grafted Sweet Tart, Venus and Cac on to Manila seeding on 5/10/22 - all cleft grafts. Cac never had any growth but is still green. Sweet tart and Venus took and developed new leafs. However, growth has stalled and now leafs are turning yellow. All the graft unions are well healed with good amount of callous formation. I removed the tape around graft union thinking that it may be strangulating the graft union. I have been removing any new growth on the root stock below graft to ensure all the energy is going to grafts.
What do the experts feel the problem is? Is it some type of nutritional deficiency? Any thing I can do to help them grow?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: grafting guava
« on: July 08, 2022, 08:12:57 PM »
Guava has been the most difficult fruit to graft for me as well. Among the many grafts I have attempted, I had success with three grafts which were all bark grafts with long (~2 inch) contact area between scion and root stock. I had no luck with cleft grafts.

Completely agree with "achetadomestica". There are multiple reports of people getting trees different than what was the cultivar described. Personally, I would not buy from him as I don't want to waste several years waiting for trees to fruit and then find out it is not the tree I had ordered.
For people who had good experience with him, can any one confirm that the fruit tree that they received was the cultivar ordered?

My Manilla mango tree leaves look like these. Is that powdery mildew or some thing else?
In addition, it's apical growth is slow and weak. Can it be due to a nutritional deficiency or some type of insect damage?
Thanks

Great suggestions. I had grafted Crystal guava scions. Buds popped out of buddy tape but now they are starting to dry out. Will try your method to see if I can save them.
