Answer:
Hi Pragna, Beware the dreaded YouTube! So much BAD info there. Mangos are amongst the weirdest plants in the world: each seed produces 3-4 shoots of which 2-3 shoots are identical clones of the parent tree. That is, you never need to graft them since most of the seed shoots are the same as mum. Usually the most vigorous shoots are the same as mum, so grow this mango from seed.
