Thanks Mitchel, thats cool as H.E.(double tooth picks) as Richie Cunningham would say, Three Blooms, Holy Cow. I wonder how many fruit that one plant will produce.

This is the same kind of mutation that has happened in the 'Double Cavendish' (what is commonly called 'Mahoe') as well as in the lost true Hawaiian 'Mahoe'. There are also other sports of cultivars that have been known to do this, not very common, but they are out there. Nice find!
