Grafting & PropagationWhat is an interstock in an experimentally grafted mango?
An interstock is a deliberately retained stem section between the rootstock and the final scion, creating a three-part combination. Mango researchers have investigated how this intermediate material affects plant characteristics. Record all three components and both joining points. It should not be confused with an accidental stock shoot or assumed to provide a particular size or compatibility effect without evidence for the combination.
