Random mango pit grew into a small tree in NE Florida (Jacksonville), surviving teens with plastic bag protection. Central trunk died a foot above ground years ago; we cut it off. 5–6 branches emerged below the cut, growing 3–5 ft. Why didn't the whole tree die? Will these branches fruit?
What you see are suckers from the rootstock—never amount to anything. The main trunk died, so the grafted tree is done. Suckers may develop but are undesirable rootstock. Mangoes need zone 10a+; you're too cold for winter survival. Plant a nursery-bought mango of desired variety instead.
