That’s awesome! Sounds like you and Behl have had some success with early season mango grafting. We’ve had warmer weather these last 2 months compared to last year if I recall correctly, at least in my area.
Awesome to hear
Have you been growing this outside or inside green house?
I wish I can buy some scions soon. Too impatient to wait until late July.
Hope you have success with your grafted Sweet Tart. From my own experience, mango grafts are most successful from late July to Early September when temperatures are highest and both the scion and rootstock are in full bud swell and growth mode.
Here is a recent photo of my Sweet Tart mango tree blooming on manila rootstock. I grafted this Sweet Tart in Late July 2016 and it has grown quite nicely over the past 1 1/2 years. The Bottom Photo is my Coconut Cream Mango Tree which was grafted to a manila seedling in late August 2016.

The middle on with the multiple branches, any reason you didn't split those into 3 or 4 separate grafts?
Good luck, hope they all take.
Lionking...... Very hard to tell what the variety is from the embryo seed but can tell you that both seeds are mono & all the varieties you mentioned are mono...... Mike
Agreed. My mom planted a mango seed at her house - 6 years later and it’s shorter tha n my 1 yr old.
Brad - funny you mention a car wash. M‘Y dad owns a car wash in Glendora and he has a seedling thatbis 40 feet tall and produces abundant numbers of small tasty mangoes.
And being inland, Glendora gets really hot during the days but can get quite chilly at night.

I don't believe orange sherbet is available although rumors say its in the works. Coconut cream and sweet tart are top tier. Lemon zest is plagued with problems in Florida and Zills is no longer propagating it
From a production standpoint, it is hard to top Valencia Pride in California. It's a productive tree for me. The taste is ok for the non-mango snobs. I give this mango to my friends and co-workers because it is pretty and large. Better than super market mango but not top tier.
Carrie I have trouble getting it to grow well in my yard. Maybe slightly more susceptible to die backs on florida rootstock based on me and my friend's experience
Alphonso is a pretty tree for me, blooms like crazy but doesn't seem to set fruit well for me.
Keitt I grow only because it is the latest mango in my yard. allows me to have mangos in January/Feb in the yard.
My friends have good experience growing sweet tart in california.
My personal favorite is coconut cream

Alphonso doesn't do produce well in SoCal.
Not on your list, Sweet Tart does do well and is a high quality mango
Out of those varieties Carrie is my favorite. I'm in florida though. I personally consider the others mediocre at best. Valencia pride is an extremely vigorous tree. Carrie is delicious if picked at the right time with a lot of flavor depth similar to some fine Indian mangos
Do you have a picture of the plant tag? If it’s a Florida tree, I would expect it to have the variety tag on it. I know Home Depot sells Manilla trees but I haven’t been to Lowe’s in a long time so I have no idea.

Any rootstock that is healthy will be good. Graft on both.
All mangos were once Asian, haha, but I think you mean the fruit looked like a yellow Manila mango.
I think you should graft it just in case it turns out bad with lots of fiber. You can allow a little bit of growth from the rootstock later to evaluate that fruit.
