How long have you had it? And is it in a pot/container? & if so what size?

Probably 2-3 years it’s a grafted Carrie mango it is in a container/pot  ???



Had it in these containers while healing from graft it has spent most of its time healing and trying to grow but it has been stunted I  started in a shade house for grafting heal period about a year then moved to full sun I think the watering has not been consistent so it suffers from lack and overwatering periods will regular water bring my baby back to healthy looking or do I just give it Time I just reported with some 8-3-9 potting soil miracle grow  limestone rock and topped with mulch

It looks like lack of nitrogen followed by salt damage, one symptom of which is new flushes dying and older leaves falling. If you gave it 8-3-9 fertilizer, that would have done it.

It could die, but here are some suggestions for the future:

 - Don't keep it for a full year in the shade house. Thirty days post graft is normally sufficient. Too long in the shade house causes the leaves to adjust to low light. Moving to sun will then cause leaves to yellow and burn.

 - Don't use limestone in potting soil. pH of limestone is generally above 8.0, and many nutrients become unavailable. A sandy mix with some organic matter works great for mangoes.

 - Don't use 8-3-9 (quick release) fertilizer on potted plants. Use an osmocote or equivalent slow release product. Mangoes are particularly salt sensitive.

 - Water potted trees at least every other day in our area, everyday watering is generally needed in the summer time (make sure your soil is quick draining).

Can I get some opinions on why the leaves are twisting and how to care for its future growth

It looks perfectly normal to me. Some of my Carries leaves twist also and some are very wavy. Your tree looks a million times better than in your original post. Whatever youre doing seems to be working. Keep it up!
