To my inexperienced eyes (in growing mangoes in SoCal) sunrise seems more vigorous.

Frank will correct me if I misspeak but to me
It's got a lot of trunk showing compared to leaves. For us here, we only really get vegetative flushes for 3-4 months. So for a 4 year old tree to have that amount of foliage and still show a spindly trunk is acceptable but not ideal. Compared to the Manila rootstock tree which is more bushy with more leaves and holding onto its leaves better

The othe thing to consider is that with that type of spindly trunk the tree may not have grown much at all as it probably was acquired around a similar height (compare to my Florida turpentine tree pictures).
