Hi Joe, seems like an aborted seed. Even if it sprouted you wouldn't want to use a stunted rootstock to graft onto. You want to use as vigorous of a rootstock as possible. So bigger seeds are usually better.Oscar

How did dwarfing rootstock come about anyway?_JoeP450
If you often pop open those mango seed hulls sometimes you're in for a big surprise, like with this one, not small or aborted, but very interesting looking:Oscar
