But first, let's quickly talk about why you should graft onto a rootstock instead of just planting a seed from one of your favorite mango varieties.

More often than not Mango trees grown from seed will produce an inferior fruit (click here to learn why). The only way to know for certain that you'll harvest delicious mangoes off your new tree is to graft budwood from a parent cultivar onto a rootstock. Another benefit to grafting is that grafted trees will produce delicious fruit in just 1-3 years while trees grown from seed can sometimes take upwards of 8-10 years to produce fruit that is often inferior.

​

Turpentine Mangoes are the gold standard for rootstock because they produce a hardy root system that is drought, flood, pest and disease resistant; giving your tree a resilient, strong and reliable foundation.
