Thes outsatandin Carabao mangoes could be propagated or multiplied for planting in different parts of the country. Through grafting, any variety of mangoes could be used as rootstock and scion coming from outstanding varieties approved by NSIC. Always plant double rootstock because they are more resistant to typhoon, fast growing and early fruiting.

The advantages of multi rootstock;
1. Growth and development is accelerated or double in comparison with single rootstock. Just as a man could travel faster with two feet that one foot, a plant could grow faster with double rootstock systems.
2. The tree becomes more prolific since it overcomes the biennial (alternate) fruiting habit. The plants produces heavy fruiting only after every other years and if forced to bear fruits by using or applying potassium nitrate KNO3, the tree will have a short life span as proven by what happen in mango producing provinces like in Cebu, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, and pangasinan.
