Grafting & PropagationWhy do some mango propagators remove scion leaves before collection?
Preconditioning a shoot by removing leaves while it remains attached is used in some mango grafting systems to prepare buds. It is a planned nursery step, not a universal rule for every technique. Follow a locally established procedure and protect the buds during leaf removal. If testing whether it helps your operation, compare similarly healthy wood and record preparation dates rather than mixing several changes together.
