Description: Grafting a mango scion involves several key steps to successfully integrate it with a rootstock, ensuring optimal growth and fruit production. Here’s a concise guide: Select and Prepare the Scion: Choose a healthy mango scion from a mature tree. The scion should be a healthy, disease-free shoot with 2-4 buds. Cut it with a sharp, sterile knife at a slant to create a clean surface for joining. Prepare the Rootstock: Select a compatible mango rootstock, which is typically a young tree or a suitable rootstock plant. Ensure it is healthy and well-established. Make a clean cut on the rootstock where you will attach the scion. Make the Graft: Align the cut surfaces of the scion and rootstock, ensuring that the cambium layers (the green layer just beneath the bark) match up. Secure the scion to the rootstock using grafting tape or a rubber band, making sure there are no gaps. Seal and Protect: Cover the grafted area with grafting wax or sealant to protect it from moisture and pests. This helps to prevent infection and ensures the grafting union heals properly. Care and Maintenance: Keep the grafted area moist and provide shade if necessary. Regularly check for signs of successful grafting, such as new growth emerging from the scion. Once the graft has taken and the new shoots are growing, remove any protective coverings and continue to care for the young plant. By following these steps, you can successfully graft a Valencia Pride mango scion onto a rootstock, leading to a vigorous, fruit-bearing mango tree.
