Also, matching the diameter isn't as important as ensuring cambium contact (basically some parts of the scion and the rootstock must be touching at certain points so that vital functions can be continued) sometimes the diameter is right but the cambium of one part isn't touching the other and the graft fails. A tip though is to place the graft in slightly nudged to the side so that at least there's two points of cambium contact (if not 4 points of contact) just thought I'd point this out since I didn't see it in your video. But yeah great content though! :D
@MinaBellonaAckerman3 жыл бұрын
TL;DR place in your graft a bit crooked (it doesn't matter if one bit is sticking out at the end, as long as contact is ensured it should be okay) so that the inner barkish bits of the two seperate bits touch at least on some points

when will cuttings be on sell again for Mangos? Also do you sell cuttings for Avocados? Is it possible to grow mangos in South Carolina? I know avocados can be done
@SleepyLizard3 жыл бұрын
Hi Raven, I'm not selling cuttings right now. We sold out in the spring so my trees need to regenerate. It'll probably be July before I have any. As for mango in South Carolina I'mafraid you're out of luck. It gets too cold up there. Are you growing avocado now?

I've misread Mango to Avocado. :D Which cold hardy Avocado tree would you recommend?

My question is why you need to do that? For what? Sorry new for this kind of stuff. What it will do to the tree? I watch lots of videos but there are not telling why they need to do this?

Hi BluBall, The reason we graft is because seeds are unpredictable. Some fruit grow "true to seed" while others do not. Avocados, apples, and certain varieties of mango do not grow true. If you plant their seed the resulting tree won't give you an identical fruit. In fact, the fruit can be quite different. Other fruit such as peaches, citrus, and other types of mango do grow true and you'll get an identical fruit. Also, like people, trees have to reach sexual maturity before they reproduce and grow fruit...that can take 10+ years but with grafting we take a cutting from an already sexually mature tree and we reduce the time to 3-4 years. This vid and several others on my channel explain in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ikg5J6pNmpkNU

So can you explain zoning? Does the seed has to be local and graft of any variety ? Or both? Or seed can be from anywhere and graft have to be compatible with the zone?

Thank you for sharing this grafting instructions step by step, I will definitely give it a try. Can this work for an avocado tree? Or any other fruit tree I wonder?

So you don't get anything from grafting two seedlings?

that's correct. if you graft a seedling to a seedling you still have a seedling

You mentioned that you cut into the root stock off center. Is that just slightly off center? I've tried grafting mangos many times with no success. I always tried to cut the root stock straight down the middle, maybe that was part of my problem.

Slightly but noticeable to the human eye..there's clearly a narrow side and a thick side.

@@SleepyLizard Thank you! Also, I've found that the snipped root stock will constantly want to send up new branches. I'm assuming you break those all off when you see them so that maximum energy will go to the scion?

Yes you need to prune the rootstock so it doesn’t revert.

no, that would require some prep, the cuttings are meant for grafting.
