Grafting & PropagationHow should embedded old tape at a mango graft union be assessed?
Determine whether the remaining material is still tightening around the stem and how deeply it has entered the bark. Remove accessible restrictive binding carefully without pulling strips through living tissue or levering the union. Seek experienced help when material is deeply embedded or the stem is already injured. Inspect growth above the constriction afterward, since taking away the binding does not by itself establish that the affected tissue has recovered.
