Buds of different plants can be combined to produce mango trees.

Splicing grafting and whipping tongue are common methods in small and young plants. In order to weave the two parts together, the scion and the rootstock must have the same diameter. Cut off the rootstock (the stem of the main plant) with a sharp knife, and then slice the scion at an angle lower than the equal angle of the bud to make the two pieces "fit" together. Mature mango trees can be grafted on scions, and several barks can be installed in the same area. Fix them together with wax thread, then wrap the plastic bag tightly and water it. Transplanting during hibernation is the best practice, from winter to early spring.

Cutting is another form of combining fruit tree specimens, whether in trunk or lateral branches. Trim two 6-inch scions and put in 4-inch open rootstock, the main workshop. Drill into the center of the rootstock with a cutting wedge tool and a hammer, remove the wedge, and insert the scion into both ends of the opening with a selection tool. Each scion should have four good buds, so that both sides along the line are tapered. Positioning part, so the cambium of scion and rootstock are in direct contact. Close the rootstock, fix the scion and graft with wax or paint. Cutting has the best effect during dormancy.

Bark grafting

Bark grafting is similar to cutting, but it is carried out on a wider rhizome (4 to 12 inch in diameter). Barking in early spring is the best practice; Sap and bark are easier to separate. Slot along the longitudinal direction of the bark and insert it into the periphery of the rootstock around the scion every 3 inches. Nail the rootstock under the bark of the scion and seal the exposed wood with grafting wax or paint. When all kinds of scions begin to grow, keep the strongest people and prune them. Young mango trees created by bark grafting may need to be left for several years.

Other grafting processes

Other methods of grafting two plants together are also suitable for mango trees. Side grafting of potted rootstocks with single boards is a popular commercial seedling raising method. In the cold winter, the rootstocks are left outside, and then enter the vegetable greenhouse, where the plants are spliced together. The scion is sliced, then the rootstock is mortgaged, tied together and sealed with grafting wax. Saddle grafting is carried out in the middle and late winter, using rootstocks and scions of the same size. The top of the rootstock is shaped so that the scion can pass through it on the right.

The mango tree

Mature mango tastes sweet and rich.

Mango trees can bear fruit without cross-pollination with another tree. They must live in a tropical climate. For example, mango trees in Florida and California can go to sleep at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and die, or freeze to death when the temperature drops below 32 degrees. Mango grows at the end of a long stem, is oval or pear-shaped and weighs 8 to 24 ounces. Mature mango has smooth skin, peach-like taste and juicy pulp. Mango tastes different, depending on the result of grafting their seeds with trees.
