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:

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.

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.

Nice video ..I was wondering when this video was coming.. really enjoyed the video .. very informative as usual..

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!

Great video, thanks to you and Alex for sharing.

Thanks Paul and Alex Great Video a lot of good info.

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.

Very nice information.

[@aminstropicalgardening8371]

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.

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!

Great information, great video

[@peggyramdial6821]

Thank you for the information

[@chiefogorganics3226]

Salute bro 💯

Normally in Barbados we use a narrow plastic bag to cover the added scion & the grafted union.
