Quite very common. Some are even triples. Praying hands are the ultimate.

Here is a Musa velutina with fused skin I took last year at the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, FL.

That is cool, Gabe. Any chance that is a genetic trait, or jut a fluke?

The velutina is just a fluke. But theres a chance some of those velutina seeds I sent you may have been from that very fruit, so maybe you will get lucky, but dont count on it:ha:

Oh ok. So the ones in the woods might just be this one when I spread them around. BTW my basjoos just got the crap beaten out of them by the hail we just had. I got the new bananas under the porch before it started hailing bad. :ha:

I find a twin banana in about half of my bunches, regardless of variety.
