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

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

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.

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