This was a good one.🌺 Can you do one on girdling and how to effectively cause reliable fruiting? Where to when to how to…

[@growpuravida]

I don’t have a plant that i would want to girdle, sorry

Videos always make grafting seem very easy, until you try it and discover you have butter fingers.🤣 I think I'll try this soon. Thank you for the video. Is there a reason why this grafting method is more rare?

[@growpuravida]

Yes, there are so many factors why grafts fail despite a good grafting skill. 3 most important ones are wrong season( vigorous rains, dry winds, scorching sun vs cloudy etc.), wrong tree( tree not in good health or good vigor due to disease or poor roots, or scion is from unhealthy tree) and the last one is knife lacking the needed sharpness for a good cut.
This particular technique is not rare, but with mangos the easier approach to top-work a tree is to slice it at the level you want, usually 4-5 ft from
the ground, make a slant cut so water accumulation doesn’t rot the sliced top and then wait 2 months to get 6-8 new shoots from there to graft onto. Most people use this technique because mango trees are very forgiving to complete slicing/pugging. Where i am, the mountain winds are very crazy and the sun will dry any scion out in a day. So keeping the upper canopy of the tree intact is beneficial for me. However, this method has higher fail rates because the trunk is very thick and often times one will fail to cut deep enough to reach and expose the cambium. I actually bought a very sharp hunting knife for this. The one i am using in video i do not recommend any longer if your trunk is this wide.

I'm an eye doctor. You snapped off the razor blade tip by trying to pry the bark off. That was really dangerous, especially without eye protection. I do not advise anyone to do it this way. Make the cut with the razor blade but pry the bark off with something thicker/stronger.

Thanks for your input, my wife keeps telling me that, too))
