I have criol avocado seed growing that got crunched by falling debris. It snapped off the stalk right at the seed. Now it has 5 shoots coming up from the seed. Any thoughts, opinions or suggestions? I've grown a lot of avocado s and never seen anything like this.

Hi Howarth, and welcome! We toss avocado seeds in the compost where many of them sprout and I often see multiple shoots coming from the embryo. You could thin all but one if you want a single trunk on the tree.
