About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Indonesia Black Stone Mango grafted live plant Grafted fruit trees are specially cultivated plants where a desirable fruiting variety (the scion) is joined to a vigorous, compatible rootstock to produce a plant that combines the best traits of both. Grafting ensures that the fruit produced is identical to the parent variety — sweet, large-fruited, pest-resistant or early-bearing as specified. Grafted trees also typically begin fruiting years earlier than seed-grown trees and often remain at a manageable size. Whether it’s a mango, guava, sapota, lemon or exotic tropical fruit, a grafted tree from PlantsHub is nursery-raised under expert conditions and ready to establish quickly in your garden or in a large container.
