Hello all. I have germinated some mango seeds and avocado seeds and they are polyembryonic. Should I just cut off the other seedlings and levae the strongest? I dont want to break them apart because I am scared to kill them... any suggestions? thanks

That's generally what I've done. I suppose one could separate them, but I generally haven't bothered.

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

I've seperated polyembryonic Inga seedlings with no problems, and certainly would do with mango too if I could find any (usually only monoembryonic cv.s imported to NZ). I am under the impression the smaller shoots on polyembryonic mangos are usually very close to clonal copies of the parent tree.

I have never seen a polyembyonic avocado. What cv. is it?

Waimarama New Zealand (39.5S, 177E)
