Grafting compatibility is more than just matching cambium layers—it’s about how the rootstock’s vigor meets your local soil and climate. Here in Maharashtra, I’ve seen 'Alphonso' on 'Deshi' rootstock heal beautifully yet fail in heavy clay, while the same union thrives on our rocky slopes. The textbook says alignment is everything, but my life says the rootstock must be chosen for this land, not just for the scion. I lost half a plot once by ignoring that.
