I have germinated and am growing two Avacados and one Mango in pots. All three of these have two growths coming out of the soil. Is it normal for growths to come out of both sides of the seed?? In all cases one growth is larger than the other. Should I be cutting one back?

I don't know about the "cutting back" part, since my Mango only had one trunk grow out of the seed (from a grocery store mango, no less!) My tree is now 10 feet tall, lives in my greenhouse in the winter and has not yet borne fruit or bloomed. I do prune it occasionally just to shape it. I love growing tropicals!

I think avacado's form feet...then roots...then the stem.and can trim stem back to 6 inches when it reaches 1 foot.I grew one of these while in 8th grade.We did the water growing.I believe it takes 10 years for fruit. Teacher had 3 growing in one pot from another years class.

I've not had luck with mangos.
