I keep learning about grafting mangoes and other fruits. This video will help you understand how to graft mangoes.
There are different ways to do it but Alex has been grafting with much success so see this video and let me know what you think.
What are some grafting tips that have worked for you?
The grafting tape Alex used in this video to tie the budwood is at this link:

The parafilm tape he used to cover the graft is at this link:

Alex & Paul.... I respect you guys for giving out your techniques, it's really awesome when you share a passion and you have such great contributors. We will keep supporting your business. Hans down!!! Edgar from Homestead FL
I have a bad habit of germinating every fruit seed I get and now have dozens of Mango cultivars in zone 9a. Pruning them short and green housing them for 2 months… if they survive winters I better learn to graft. Thanks for having a channel
I agree with Alex that taking scions from an actively flushing tree and grafting onto a active flushing tree is very important and greatly helps with grafts being successful. This is something I noticed myself this season.
It's the best chance of success, also if there is a nice period of rain and clouds for a few days after you graft is helpful
Hey Paul, I enjoy your videos, and though this is a couple years old I'm in sort of the same situation you were in, "just learning". But he's an idea I got from watching a video you did with "Truly Tropical". When you graft to a root stock from a random seedling (not turpentine, or Peva etc...); when you remove the top, of it's a good scion, graft to an older tree to see what the fruit is like. If it's no good you can remove the branch and graft something else, or maybe even develope a new variety.
I also recently discovered the importance of makinh sure everything is very clean, and preferably using stainless steel, as well as having both scion and rootstock flushing at the same time. Not to mention, taking your time.
Good vid! You ask all the good questions! Thank you for going out and getting us a hands on with the grafting! This is all good info. Exactly where I am in learning! ❤️👍
Dependant upon the hardness of the branch of the mother tree or root stock I may use a cable tie or two to "clamp" the union.
Once I refined my veneer grafting, it became as viable as my cleft grafts. Technique requires cutting a rectangular patch from the root-stock; just removing the bark to the cambium - no underlying wood! I rubber-band the scion on to ensure broad contact w/ cambium. Lehigh Acres, FL... Caramba!
Cable ties are good to use too
Nice video ..I was wondering when this video was coming.. really enjoyed the video .. very informative as usual..
Alex is a wealth of knowledge! I learned some tricks; thank you!
Excellent video. You asked all the questions I would have. Last summer was my first time grafting. Four successful grafts out of...well, never mind. I'm convinced I wasn't making flat cuts on my scions. Hopefully this year will be better. Thanks...subscribed!
Agreed making that flat cut comes with lots of practice.
Very nice information.
Great video, thanks to you and Alex for sharing.
Great information, great video
Thanks!
Normally in Barbados we use a narrow plastic bag to cover the added scion & the grafted union.
Thanks Paul and Alex Great Video a lot of good info.
Thank you for the information
Good information. Thanks. We appreciate you.
Great video, thank you Paul and Alex. This is basically the technique I used and finally, after many previous fails, a couple took. Too soon to tell on the others, they are still mostly green at least. I feel my odds were better as it is still rainy season here(also Florida) and my root stock was planted in the ground not pots. Sad news 2 more years to wait for fruit.
I love your long sleeve shirt
Salute bro 💯
Since the most important thing is to make sure the cambiun layers made contact. Can the scion be angle a little to make sure that the cabium will make contact in at least 2 different positions?
Hey Paul, can you film a short follow up with Alex on some of those grafts. Successful ?
Thanks
5:57 that looks like a really cool sharpening stone. Do you know where Alex purchased it from?
know but you can email him and ask, tropical acres farms
Can I enquire of you, is it possible to mix the genes by grafting a "starch" mango onto a Julie Mango stock and what would be the resultant product?
I'd be obliged for your opinion.
That wouldn’t mix the genes. You would need the two varieties to flower and cross pollinate, then plant the resultant seeds to get a hybrid.
Hi Paul
Notice a lot of your scions are grafted onto the end of branches. I think you should pull them back to main scaffolding branches to prevent pruning them off. Just a suggestion 😉😉
Thank you so much John. So all the grafts on the tree are doing great but are you saying as the tree grows the grafts will come out more from the trunk? or were you just saying if I prunt in the future I have to be careful not to cut them
@@FruitfulTrees … Alex has stumped his trees and grafted on shoots that will later become scaffolding branches for each new graft, whether same variety or different. If growth habit is different for different varieties it doesn’t matter too much…
You will have to be careful when pruning your trees. In short term, it might be OK to “park” your scions somewhere until you find a mango that is not good or not good in your area due to disease…stump it… wait for new growth and graft one variety per scaffolding branch… just my thoughts… gr8 video… hope to see Alex around June 23, 24 and Julian… may see if you are around…
Do you do air laying. Reply please
Is there certain season when you graft?
Paul I'm following your toturials I'm interested in fruit trees. I will likel you send me some fruit seeds e g persimmon, jack fruit, olive, blue berries, strawberry etc. Thanks.
Can you advise, I have a paw-paw/papaya tree from seed and wants to graft it onto something or Vice versa, what is compatible as rootstock or scion?
I think only paw pawpaw but have not heard of anyone doing that
Really appreciate this Paul! Is it too late to graft now?
no it is not too late
👋🏻Hi Paul & Alex. We have a young tree that was damaged in a recent storm in which the entire top was broken off. Can this tree be saved via grafting without any leaves left on it?
doesn't hurt to try
You should wait for it to flush new growth first before grafting it
@@TropicalAcresFarms thank you! it has since flushed new growth. I will place an order with you this week if you still have scions avail. 😁
From the beginning why New shoots are brown in colour?
Not sure but sometimes it's like that. I'm not sure how new those shoots are
🤝🤝🤝👌
Painting an edible tree doesn’t sound too safe. I’m sure there’s stuff in the paint you don’t want the tree to absorb
Very bad video clip.instead of showing the plant all the time talking or showing the person
