Abstract : In an orchard in São Paulo, Brazil, established 15 years previously, tree height and crown diameter of 6 mango cultivars grafted onto 7 rootstocks were measured in 1981. Of the scions compared, cultivars Oliveria Neto, Extrema and Bourbon had crowns significantly greater in height and width than other cultivars. Cv. Bourbon as a rootstock was the most susceptible to disease.
