| I've been growing an avocado tree from seed for a little less than a year. Over the past two months, there have been what looks like smaller avocado plants growing from the same root system. Is this normal?    |

| I have grown avacado from seed three times (have one going right now), but I have never seen one sprout more than one time, so I am baffled. Are you sure it is avacado and not some other seed that got blown in? Although other fruit trees do grow sprouts at the base, so I guess it is possible. I would pull them out, though, so the tree doesn't put energy into them. |

| I have one that I thought sprouted a second shoot , but it was actually connected to the main trunk I could see as it grew A pint can't hold a quart , If it is holding a pint it is doing the best that it can. |

| I'm sure it's not another type, I've grown it indoors and recently moved to a place with a screened in patio (which explains the brown on the leaves, I didn't acclimate it properly). It's so odd to me that it took these little ones so long to grow. |

| I'm sure the three seedling is not avocadoes. They are seedling from different plant that somehow happens to deposited in the soil. |

   So I repotted my avocado tree today. You guys are right, somehow different seeds got in my pot.. does anyone know if they could identify these by their leaves? |

| I live in the region those grow.. but I didn't have any by my house. So I guess it could be possible. It just blows my mind because I have never left it outside. It has always been an indoor plant |
