Hi Meara! I decided to venture a mango orchard. Can you give me some advice?
Oh that's good... Yes! I can give you some advice.
OOOOOhhhhh really???!!!
Mango tree propagation may be accomplished by either planting seeds or through grafting of mango trees.
Wowww!!!!
When propagating by seed, trees takes long to produce fruits and more difficut to manage than those that have been grafted, thus mango tree grafting is preferred method of propagation.
Hhhhmmmm...
There are advantanges in using grafting. It produce fruits that are true to type. When planted the expected characters of the parents are carried to the next generation.
Amazing!
It also bear fruit faster or shorter time. Under proper management, grafted trees bear fruits one to two years after planting.
Thank you for your advice. It can really help me a lot. I will give you some mangoes when my tree bears fruit.
And finally, trees are generally small in size and several numbers can be planted to a hectare.
