Default Re: multiple fruit

It happens regularly on some of my fruits. If you looked further back in time, those flowers have split pistils. They must have split from normally one ovule into several, complete with their own pistils. I have observed this in my apples, plums, pluots, plumcots, peaches, nectarines, cherries and apricots. I have not observed this in my citruses or persimmons yet nor on blueberries and other fruits.
