Select scions with buds that may be swelling slightly but have yet to expand with actual growth. In other words, the buds look like they are about to start growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Graft mangos during the warmest months, from mid-May through the end of summer. For this is when mangos do most of their vegetative growth in Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Choose a grafting technique appropriate for the relationship between stock and scion: whip\/splice or cleft if the diameters match; side veneer if the stock is bigger than the scion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to do these different grafts? There&#8217;s nothing unique to mangos regarding these techniques. In other words, a side veneer graft of mango is exactly like a side veneer graft of avocado or citrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(But <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fIl6IOt7z1g?si=WDTSli_mBlYjCE3O\">here<\/a> is a good video showing a side veneer graft done on an avocado, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E_2hbaYh8KU?si=095gv56MDz6ysVEQ\">here<\/a> is one done on a citrus tree. You would do the same cuts for a mango. I can&#8217;t find a good, simple video of a whip\/splice graft so I might have to make one. In the meantime, see a diagram and description of the technique in <a href=\"http:\/\/avocadosource.com\/papers\/research_articles\/whitsellrh1989.pdf\">this document on page 10<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Post-graft maintenance responsibilities include scraping off any buds or new growth just below the graft and removing tops from side veneer grafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mango scion sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find scions of the mango varieties you would like to graft, I recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your local <a href=\"https:\/\/crfg.org\/\">California Rare Fruit Growers<\/a> chapter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tropicalfruitforum.com\/\">Tropical Fruit Forum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tropicalacresfarms.com\/\">Tropical Acres Farms<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s my first visit with Earle, where we talk how to grow mangos successfully in Southern California conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/earles-mangos-in-southern-california-part-one\/\">&#8220;Earle&#8217;s mangos, Part One: Growing&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will visit Earle again at the end of summer to talk mango varieties and harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My other mango posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/growing-mangos-in-southern-california\/\">\u201cGrowing mangos in Southern California\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/captain-bucklews-california-mango-trees\/\">\u201cCaptain Bucklew\u2019s California mango trees\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/california-grown-mangos\/\">\u201cCalifornia-grown mangos\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I take no sponsors and run no ads.
