If that tree was left unprotected during all four cold nights, then your tree is toast if it was a grafted tree.
As PT has mentioned here on this site, it's never cold enough to kill the roots of most tropicals here. At some point, you'll likely get a Manila mango growing from the base of the tree, especially if the tree came from Laverne Nursery out of California. |

Well it is grafted, but it didnt come from laverne. It came from florida. So we will just have to wait and see. I think in Florida they use other type of roostock |

You may want to contact the nursery out in Florida and find out what the rootstock is -- or just spend $20 and buy a seedling Manila mango from Lowes. When those freeze, you get Manilas coming back, and if it doesn't work out, you can return it if it's less than a year. |
