We start every avocado pit we come across, all as indoor plants. We currently have about 22 pits in water, two of which have stems and roots, and another dozen in the process of splitting and rooting out. We have eight potted, in various stages of growth, the oldest being four years, and taller than I am.
I have seen this action twice. Once, a primary came up first, followed by the other two, one after the other. The secondary and tertiary stems died eventually.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
