You can cut from there, it will make a lot of sprouts however it will not fruit next year.
Don't cut lower is a bad idea you will cut all the sugar production and tree will need more than 2 years to recover.
A better approach it is to leave only two limbs and cut 10 inches above where you pointed leaving buds exposed. This way you don't miss the fruit next year.
I grow 8 mangoes varieties in containers and prune them yearly to dwarf them. Also for that tree size no more than 1-2 fruits per tree.

thanks for the longan ID, now that I know what it is I can try to figure out how to get it to flower. I was most curious about that one and the carrot wood, I think it might be an ackee but the leaves aren't as shiny? They look really similar so I'm not sure, I'll just leave them alone for a while.

2 and 3 are mysteries, my guess for 0 is culantro but I'm not sure

0 is definitely not culantro. Looks nothing like it.
1 is carrotwood, as Cookie Monster said. Destroy it. It's an annoying invasive.

So apparently I have to add avocados to my list of trees deer really love my new Sir Prize was fragged by a deer. Looked out my kitchen window and was thinking the leaves were very camouflaged to the back ground. Went outside later and found every single one was gone. Deer shredded it. Not only that they knocked over a metal cage I had around a red loquat tree and took every leaf off of it. Then they walked to my front yard and ate all my hibiscus bushes and some of my other flowering bushes. But wow they really wanted the avocado, it looks the worst out of all of them, hibiscus grows back quickly and loquats are simply hard to kill, this is the second time in two months it has happened to it(thus the cage which works on other trees) . Oddly enough they leave my other loquats alone, even in the same vicinity. So, think it will come back? Only been in the ground for a couple weeks.
