I've gotten my mango seeds to germinate with little mango leaves! I know
that they usually graft some mangoes, but I don't know why. Could someone
explaine? And, yup, gonna have time to watch the mangos grow! Can it be
bonzaid? Might be fun!

Hi,
Mangos are grafted to insure variety and to hasten fruiting. If you can wait
three to eight years for fruit and willing to take what appears then
grafting is not required. Many of the great ones originated from seeds
tossed in the yard. Also, if you are going to bonsai one (never saw that
done) then skip the grafting.
