aloha ukj,
good idea to do what you were thinking but with a twist,
you could try to:
(1) sprout one of their mangoes - (let it grow and harden off for a while before attempting this method)
(2) make a 'v' shaped slit (cut) into the stem of the mango (this is to try to graft on a 'scion')
(3) the 'scion' you take from the same tree that the mango you sprouted came from and you cut a small tip off one of the branches - then cut the bottom into a 'v' shape also
(4) insert this 'scion' into the original slit or cut you made and you should have fruit relatively soon.
