Grafting (forum)

Wayne starts with ...
Hi guys
Last month I severely pruned our mango tree and now that it's settled I'm going to start grafting a couple of different varieties on to it. As some of the branches are quiet large I intend doing it as per drawing, do you see any problems doing it this way.

Needs to be done during a period of active growth, so the bark slips.

Watch out for excessive gummy oozing.

Has anyone tried using a young seedling scion for grafting onto a mature mango tree to add another variety to the mature tree.

Assuming the graft was successful I wonder how long it would take before the scion began fruiting.

I asked the same question re citrus budding and the answer was that the buds must reach a certain age before they flower. An interesting side to this is a scion of Tropical Nashi has produced fruit for the past two years which was grafted onto my old pear tree. The original Tropical Nashi tree is yet to produce any fruit at all.

Thanks for your reply John. I figured there would be some constraining factor. However I am thinking that if I grew the sapling on until it started to produce buds then scion from that well work and produce fruit quite quickly.

It seems as though your Nashi graft might well have done much the same thing. Interesting isn't it? I think I will give it a go and see how it works.

If I was doing it I would graft the seedling scion low on an established tree, then cut back the original tree to force the scion to regain the originals size, ie fake maturity. Placing a seedling scion high on another tree may not advance things much, some say that it wont work to advance fruiting,(and it's not a method used by fruit breeders)but sometimes reported to work. There are probably several different factors involved in fruiting maturity.

Thanks for your thoughts Jakfruit Etiquette. Rather than taking a low placed branch off the tree above the bud I wonder if cincturing the branch above the bud or graft would be adequate.
