I would plant a dwarf hawaiian for better taste and graft Rosigold onto a branch just to have both.

Do you see a lot of fruit split with this variety?
I have had fruits on mine for two seasons now and last year just about all the fruits split (I only let it hold a few and it dropped some itself).
This year, it has dropped most fruits but of 4 that have reached a good size, one split this morning and our bif rain event was a week or so ago. We didn't even have a much if any rain in the last 3 days. I am in southeast florida and inland and have relatively relatively higher humidity than coastal regions.
The link below is to my post from last year with a picture of the split fruit. The two posts that follow have some information about the variety, including its susceptibility to MBBS. I am not removing the branch (at least not yet) but I am not making it its own stand alone tree either.

If I were you, I wouldn't bother with Graham. Unless you have tried it already, you probably won't like the flavor. It also seems to drop a lot of its fruit before ripening.
I am planning to graft some OS, Guava, Seacrest, honey kiss, Ceci Love and M4. E4, son pari and phoenix are also a possibility.
I've read that Graham tastes great, and produces really well in Florida.
