Which month is best for mango grafting?
The best time for mango grafting is during the dormant season, typically between late winter and early spring. This period, which often falls between January and April, is ideal because:
- Dormant Rootstock: The rootstock is actively growing, making it easier for the graft to heal.
- Favorable Weather Conditions: Warm, humid weather promotes rapid healing and growth of the graft union.
- Availability of Scion Wood: Scion wood can be collected from healthy, mature mango trees during this time.
However, the exact timing may vary depending on your specific climate and the variety of mango you are grafting. It’s important to consult with local experts or experienced gardeners to determine the optimal graft season for your region.
Remember, successful grafting depends on various factors, including the health of the rootstock and scion, proper technique, and favorable environmental conditions.
