Recently picked up a small grafted 'Fantastic' avocado off the clearance rack at Home Depot, and once I got home I realized about 2/3s of the lush, vigorous growth were coming off two branches coming out of the side from right on the graft joint.
I'm guessing I'm not so lucky for this to be growth from the scion... I should cut these branches off, correct?

The plant is from Florida. I was wondering if I cut those two lower branches off, would it be worth trying to root them, either to grow as is, or to use for future roostock? I'm growing some seedlings anyway, so why not, right?
