Like so.


Gabe knows exactly what causes this (I don't) but it's fairly common in some varieties. I had an entire bunch of Dwarf Cavendish fruit turn out doubled except for two bananas, and I'd expect it's a chance mutation since the pups of that plant put out normal bunches.
My God! That is amazing, where can I get one?

P.S. Thank you very much to all who replied, it was much appreciated.
