Grafting onto large mango tree.

(1/7) > >>

Timbogrow:
I've started grafting onto a large mango tree that is about 1' diameter. It was a very shy producer of mangos that didn't have a great taste so I chopped it down about 4 months ago.so far I've gotten honey kiss and lemon zest grafted to it and just ordered some pina colada scions. I'll post some pictures tomorrow if I get done working before sunset. Just wondering if anyone has done a cocktail trail and gets all the scions to produce fruit. It's more or less an experiment since I have a bunch of grafted trees already. Just started grafting and it is very fun. Thanks for anyone's experience!

I'm working on six larger Haden stumps but only one has sprouted well enough to graft onto. I did a lemon meringue scion and it still has green buds but hasn't pushed, maybe because of cooler weather. I doubt that I'll make any cocktails but have a coconut cream to get scions from. I have 30 varieties so if you need free scions I may have.

Yes i made a cocktailtree with 25 different mango varieties on it. It became an ugly tree though because the new branches don't grow at the same speed and shape.

I had one scion that already fruited before i had taken the grafting tape of, that was chokanan mango..this one can bloom/fruit 4 weeks after grafting.

Timbogrow:
Very cool, 25 varieties on a tree sounds amazing! Sounds like you had a lot of fun grafting it! I'm sure you loved that tree besides its looks. Thank you for your input and experience.

Timbogrow:
Thank you pine islander that is very generous of you. So far my grafted Nursery trees consist of Glenn, rapoza, lacitilla, Nam doc mai #4, m4, sweet tart, fruit punch, coconut cream, golden nugget, haden, carrie, pram kai mei, pickering, and duncan. I have just 1 mature tree that was here when we purchased the property and it is a heavy producer of fiber less juicy sweet mangos. Maybe I could trade you some seedlings I have growing in the greenhouse. There's some pitangatuba, pitomba, cacao, sugar apple, peanut butter fruit, attemoya, lemon drop mangosteen, imbe. All under 6 mo the old though. Just started growing within the last year.
