Default Re: multiple fruit

I don't know anything about your plant in particular, but its normal for some fruits, they are usually called aggregate fruits and there are different forms they take on. Plants in the Annonaceae are known for this. A multiple fruit is actually a valid name for a different type of fruit in which many separate ovaries fuse into one from multiple flowers, such as a pineapple.
