Planting mangos near coast in Florida

[850FL]

I will be planting a single mango sapling in a corner nook of a house basically right on the Gulf of Mexico. I can choose from Mallika, Ice cream, Carrie, Young (all grafted and presumably on turpentine rootstock) or ataulfo from seed (polyembryonic) or Kent from seed (monoembryonic)? What is the best choice I should plant with all factors considered? I can only plant one of these. I am in north Florida. During a hurricane some brackish water could wash in..it has done this before but I have never seen any trees die from it (satsumas, figs, bushes etc). I just don’t know which variety would survive and produce best coastally in Florida with some cooler winters... thanks.

I'd recommend against the Ataulfo from seed. I have one in my yard (a few hundred yards from the Gulf); started in 2009, finally getting 2 fruit off of it this year (hadn't flowered before this season). It's very upright & vigorous, but very far from precocious. I'm grafting it onto different rootstocks to see if that improves production, but it seems to be longing for Chiapas.

Are you planting s grafted tree?  Just ask cause you say saplibg which some associate with seedling

In California,  Manilla  or Atualfo is the way to go.  In Florida,  its Turpentine  (or if from ZHPP whatever off types they use).

Mallika is the best of what you named.  Are any more tolerant to saltwater wash, cant say...

In your zone, I would find the highest quality poly mango you can find (Sweet Tart?) and grow it from seed. Your tree will be frozen back many times and a grafted tree just won't work outin my opinion. When you go to the northern edge of the mango's range in India all trees are grown from seed.
