Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes a locally surviving mango seedling prove that its rootstock will protect scions from cold?
Survival of one seedling records one plant's experience at one location. It does not establish that the root system will protect an unrelated scion, especially its flowers or young fruit, during another cold event. Document exposure and damage by tree part before making comparisons. Cold adaptation claims deserve replicated evaluation; for a backyard planting, site protection and realistic climate suitability remain essential decisions.
