Glossary

Graft compatibility is the ability of a scion and rootstock to form and maintain a functioning, durable union. It is different from the initial appearance of callus or bud growth: a join can begin growing yet later develop weakness or poor transport between the parts. For mango propagation, use suitable, healthy material and established combinations where information is available. Compatibility does not mean that the rootstock guarantees dwarfing, disease resistance, or cold tolerance for every scion and location.
