I trimmed the trunk because it was growing quite tall and spindly. Is there any way to continue growing the main trunk or will it only grow branches now?

If you cut the top off then it will only be able to grow branches at this point.
Darn, will the trunk grow any taller or is that it?
The main trunk will stay the same height at this point, but it will get thicker as it matures. Your best bet is to encourage a few branches out and go for a wine glass shape off the main trunk. With some pruning you can make it look like a pretty nice dwarf tree!
Pinching’ describes a type of pruning that encourages plants to branch out along the stem to become fuller and more bushy. When you pinch out a plant, you remove the top of the main stem, forcing the plant to grow two new stems from the leaf nodes below the pinch.
Subsequently, you can try grafting but you need some healthy plant to take from if your going for aesthetics.
Let it heal though before doing anything. I feel thing thing needs leaves for energy
They are easy to grow. Just toss another seed in the dirt beside it.
You could try grafting it. It’s been a while since I last grew avocado plants, but I would graft them, especially because it will help them produce fruits later on.
