HOW TO Graft a Cocktail Mango Tree (One Mango Tree, THREE varieties!)

- One of our viewers wanted a triple-grafted mango tree, so we thought we would show everyone how to do it! Also known as a cocktail tree, mango trees with multiple varieties grafted on them produce multiple varieties of mangos. It's a great way to maximize a small space and get different kinds of mangos from one tree.
In this video Chris grafts onto a small 3-gallon potted mango tree. However the same techniques can be applied to larger trees in the ground.
For more information about our farm and the mangos we grow, check out www.themangopl...
So kind of you to make the video for the requested tree. It has provided a much needed distraction while waiting for Irma to pass north Miami. The tree has really good structure and it gives me something to look forward to in the future. Thanks! Hoping for the best outcome for all of us...
We certainly had damage, but our preparations made a huge difference. I hope your damage was minimal
Truly Tropical My coconut cream was completely snapped off pretty low to the ground. If any of it survives above the rootstock will be a matter of time -otherwise I'll be requesting another cocktail!
sorry to hear about your CC... I hope it recovers... try for a clean cut
Hi Chris, how is the cocktail tree? When do you think it will be ready for me to pick up? No hurry- just looking forward to planting it. Irma snapped my coconut cream off at ground level so I have a vacant spot. Happy holidays!
Great video, very informative, thanks for sharing👌👍💕
Hello, mi friend! I am is Brasil. Good, good thre grafting mango!
Thanks!
Great Job!!!
Which season is best for grafting, mam ? Thanks.
From India 💖💖💖💖💖
We do a lot of grafting in early fall, but the best time to graft depends on what kind of graft you're using and what kind of facility you have. Spring is usually a good time.
@@TrulyTropical Thanks mam. I'v done six graftings on mango tree and hibiscus in this month i.e. March in India ( temperature is about 20 degree Celsius) & got success four out of six. Has any probability for the unsuccessful remaining two ?
Is there a companion video where we can see the fruits of your labor (pun 100p intended)
Mango grafting
Have you ever used a Choc Anon mango tree as the mother tree for grafting? If so did the grafted varieties flush and fruit more often?
Choc Anon is a good rootstock... I haven't noticed a difference in productivity on varieties grafted onto it, but I haven't really experimented with it.
Thank you
Hi Truly, I am thinking of grafting my Mango 🥭 here in the Uk 🇬🇧, and I was wondering if it would be able too get established on one of the following. Pear, Plum or Cherry tree. Cheers 🍻 for the upload
I want one of those !!! (:
definitely a good solution for limited space

Cocktail mango trees need regular pruning to keep a balance between the different varieties. Without regular pruning, within a year or two some grafts invariably grow much faster than others, capturing more light and inhibiting growth of the less vigorous grafts. Grafting is the easy part - maintaining the balance demonstrates good horticulture.
Yes, monitoring and pruning to balance are important steps. It's a lot easier when the growth rates are similar.
Chris, for the first graft (at 7:28 sweet tart). after the graft took, do you cut off the top portion pineapple pleasure branch ?
Yes. We will show a final video on that plant. That project is taking much longer than it normally would because of the distraction of Hurricane Irma.
is this method better than a wedge graft where the top portion is cut off?
For many years I used a top cleft graft. Now I almost always used a side cleft graft. My success rate has improved significantly.
Any Updates on the Cocktail Mango Tree? Did the grafts take
An update video will be out this week
typically, how long is a scion good for storage before grafting? any steps to keep the scion alive?
I've kept them in the refrigerator (vegetable drawer) for a couple weeks and still had success.
thanks. very good to know.
Chris, you remind me of (Anne Ryan Haney, Née Thomas).
when remove the grafting tape in tree
When using Buddy Tape and grafting elastics, the sun will degrade them so there's no need to remove.
When using grafting tape, wait until at least one growth flush has mature leaves before removing.
How is it going on after a year?
Any update on this mango tree? were these grafts successful?
One was successful and the other was not ...because Hurricane Irma diverted our attention and energies. Basically the plants in containers were neglected when we cleaned up the damage etc.
Bart Perez when will its start to bear fruits can you pls let me know. Tk.
@@jinaik9440 usually grafted trees take about 2-3years to bear fruit rather than from seed 5-7years sometimes 10
Bart Perez thanks for the information I thought its less than one years then it would bears fruits....
@@jinaik9440 i believe it depends on the the size of the tree and if it hold the weight of the mango. They say its recommended to remove flowers the first year of grafted trees to strengthen the trunk
Do you sell trees under 3 gallon
No.... I don't know anyone who sells trees in 1 gallon pots
I would love to do this
Do you get true cultivar fruits this way? I mean what if flowers of one breed is fertilized by pollen of another, given how close they are located. This should result in lots of cross-pollinated fruits.
Please share your findings. I didn't find an answer anywhere. I want a cocktail tree of 2 breeds but want to avoid cocktail fruits. Thanks.
Seeds are the result of pollination, but fruit is the result of the parent's genetics.
@@jasonjayalap fruit is the same as the mother graft.
Hi I live in California I don’t have access on mango To graft my tree what can i do
Buy budwood
Do u ship out of state?
sometimes we ship fruit out of state, but we don't ship trees
What are the advantages of grafting to one side of the receiving branch instead of ctting the branch and attach the scion as seen in most of the mango graft videos By others?
After sprouting the new buds when the remaining part of the receiving branch will be removed out side the graft location?
Kindly post a video for the post graft cares to experience the growth. After the successful graft when the tree will be ready to ship?
the main advantage is the shoot you're grafting into remains fully active while the graft is taking
I wait for at least the first growth flush to harden off. Two growth flushes is good too.
I don't ship trees, so I'll just guess about 6 months... but the readiness of the tree would be highly dependent on its rate of growth
Who is method of grafting? How many success this method?
These were side cleft grafts.
Success rates are highly dependent on the environment of the tree. For me... topworking established trees has had the highest rates of success.

Could I order a cocktail tree from you?
I don't think I'll have time to do one anytime soon. Several special projects are awaiting my attention.
Ok, could you tell me when you could start a tree for me?
It would be best if you could ask again in a couple months.... unfortunately chances are pretty good that I would forget to get back to you...
I live in Pittsburgh and I am going to Florida in late march and that is the only time I can pick it up would it be ready by then?
It depends on the weather. Right now I'm not grafting potted plants because of the cold snaps that we're getting. If we have mild weather after this next cold snap and my grafts were successful, the new growth from those grafts would be vulnerable.
Can you give me some Sions
