How To Make a Dwarf Mango Tree

18 years ago

I don't know if anyone has already posted this before, but for those who hasn't seen it...

While searching on yahoo on grafting mangos, I came across this interesting article on "Low Bark grafting". Its pretty intersting and looks easy enough to do, if you have a mango seedling or rootstock. Especially for those that want to keep a "dwarf" size mango tree...

Here is a link that might be useful: Low Bark Grafting: How To Make a Dwarf Mango Tree

I wonder what the reason for not doing a normal cleft graft is?

I do not think that the low bark grafting method would actually create a dwarf tree. Instead it allows for a smaller tree to start bearing fruit and then with proper pruning techniques it would allow for a tree to be kept small.
