Grafted a seedling mango to an established tree?
Comments (6)No, still no luck. There HAS to be some nursery somewhere that sells these things but I sure can't find hem. They are also called Ataulfo mangoes and they are supposed to be very similar to Manila's, but I can't even seem to find a Manila at a nursery that will ship. I know Manila's are very common out west. I think even Home depot carries them, but they don't seem to be grown in FL. I am wondering if they may not be able to handle the humidity down here or something? Do you think the seedling would grow faster if I did graft it onto the larger Gold Nugget? It seems like the smaller embryos grow quite a bit slower than the main seedling....See MoreHoney Mangoes (aka Ataulfo).
Comments (30)Mine has a story...fast growing seedling for the first year- hardy to cold....then slowed in ground. Ok,I stuck with it...then it went a year with no growth. Another third year it started to grow..but very tightly spaced nodes. Early this winter I thought I might move it..then thought, the heck with it..that's another two years of waiting to seeing if its happy right? So what happens? This year- its 4th- its been growing like gangbusters..two small flushes and then one big one already this year on 75f summers in the bay area. I think Mangoes in California take time to adjust to clay soils. Some people in the state have more loamy clay and dont have as much a problem. Right now its about 4'. Very small for the age..but it looks normal,not stunted and leaves are full sized. One last...full sun. The more the better....See MoreDifference between Ataulfo and Manila mangoes?
Comments (34)No. so called Philippine Mango or whatever are the ataulfo. The 'Ataúlfo' mango, also called young, baby, yellow, honey, Adaulfo, Adolfo, or Champagne, is a mango cultivar ORIGIN from Mexico. Ataulfo mangos are golden yellow and generally weigh between 6 and 10 ounces, with a somewhat sigmoid shape and a gold-blushed yellow skin. Do understand where mangos came from. They didnt hatch. Hence not originated in the philippines. The growing seasons with tropical weathers make each philippine grown Ataulfo unique tasty sweet distintivtive and could call its own cultivar. You want to taste prize winning try The most flavourful, Tastiest, Juiciest of all, Banganapalli Mangoes from Ulavapadu India. i just bought a box 9 Lbs or 4 kilo for $50.00 thats less than retail. sounds crazy but there huge and a taste of heaven....See MoreAre these mango seedlings usable?
Comments (4)I'm not really gonna have any answers for you, Danny, I don't think, but my first comment would be watering 4-5 times a week for a potted plant sounds like a LOT!!!!!!!! You sure their roots didn't get too wet and rot a bit? If you're not sure, get a water meter and stick it in a couple inches and it will tell you how dry or wet it is. That would be the first thing I'd be concerned with before top-working anything on to it. You've got to get those plants healthy again before you do anything with them, as whatever you graft will run into the same problems. mangodog...See Moregreenman62
