  • Very nice collection. You might want to remove those sprouts from the rootstock of the grafted ice cream mango or else the rootstock might ignore the graft and focus the energy to its sprouts. The rootstocks have a preference for their own branches. Grafts don’t like competition.

    Nice. Curious, how do you go about watering all the different container sizes, trees with different vigor, different size trees in same size pots, etc.? In other words, you’ve got a lot going on with different containers and different watering needs. Just hitting them all at the same time or something more complicated/tailored towards the individual trees’ needs?
