From what I've read and heard from others, it's best to cut the pods off as soon as possible. They take nutrients from the rest of the tree. Yes, the pods are large and heavy ... can only imagine how much "growing" 4 at a time might detract from the health of the rest of the tree.

From what I've read here and discussions with others, it sounds like multiple pods is not that uncommon.

Thanks, all, for your comments.
