Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes adding a compact mango cultivar as an interstock guarantee a smaller productive tree?
No. An interstock changes the combination being tested, and reduced growth alone does not establish a worthwhile production system. Compare the same scion with and without the interstock, following health, yield, and management needs. Published mango work supports the possibility of modifying vigor, while longer-term and location-specific performance still needs evidence before commercial adoption.
