4 Carrie MANGO Scion Wood Cuttings budwood for GRAFTING FRESH Varieties!

Description: 4 Carrie mango scion/ budwoods. The cuttings will be on same day order and shipped the same day that they are cut. The scions are about 5-8'' long and wrapped in moist paper towel, plastic wrap, and in plastic bottle to help moisture. ** These are for grafting. GRAFTING. they come as thin a pencil in some cases, each is unique in shape. Cuttings can be stored in a refrigerator until they are ready to graft in Spring, vacuum seal is preferred. Procedures for properly grafting a Mango cutting : Grafting is a common method used to propagate mango trees while preserving the desirable traits of specific varieties. Here are the steps to properly graft a mango cutting:Select Rootstock: Choose a healthy mango tree to serve as the rootstock. The rootstock should be disease-free, vigorous, and of similar diameter to the scion (the cutting from the desired mango variety).Prepare Rootstock: Use a sharp knife to make a smooth, diagonal cut about 6-8 inches above the ground on the rootstock tree. This cut will serve as the grafting site.Prepare Scion: Select a healthy shoot or cutting (scion) from a mature mango tree of the desired variety. The scion should be approximately 6-8 inches long and contain several buds. Make a sloping cut at the base of the scion to match the angle of the cut on the rootstock.Make Grafting Cut: Use a sharp grafting knife to make a matching sloping cut on the rootstock. The cut should be about 1-2 inches long and should mirror the cut on the scion.Join Scion and Rootstock: Place the cut end of the scion firmly against the cut end of the rootstock, ensuring that the cambium layers (the greenish layer just beneath the bark) of both pieces are in contact with each other. The alignment of the cambium layers is crucial for successful grafting.Secure Graft: Bind the graft union tightly using grafting tape, rubber bands, or grafting wax to hold the scion and rootstock together securely. Make sure not to damage the graft union or inhibit the flow of sap.Protect Graft: Apply grafting compound or grafting wax to the exposed surfaces of the graft union to seal the cut and prevent moisture loss and infection.Provide Support: To prevent movement and ensure proper healing, provide support for the grafted area using stakes or ties.Maintain Moisture: Keep the grafted mango tree in a sheltered location with high humidity and consistent moisture levels. Avoid direct sunlight until the graft has established.Monitor Growth: Check the graft union regularly for signs of new growth. Once the graft has successfully taken, the scion will begin to produce new leaves and shoots and remove any shoots that ISN"T on the new scion. example any shoots that's on the old root stock so all the energy can go to the scion and not on producing new brand of old root stock variety. keep it it in the shade area under another large mango preferably. By following these steps and providing proper care, you can successfully graft a mango cutting onto a rootstock tree, allowing you to propagate mango trees with specific desired characteristics. Local conditions and specific cultivars may influence the outcome of the grafting process. As such, it's essential to conduct thorough research and experimentation to determine the feasibility and success rate of grafting mango onto alternative rootstocks. Thanks, and I wish you the best of luck with your grafts.
