seeds Tricot seedling.

Hi ya'll,
 
 I started my seed's late this year. 50% are breaking ground now. 50% are about an inch or so tall. There are three or four different pepper type's with a tri-cotyledon leaf's. I don't remember seeing any of these before. Let alone a few of them from different type's. Did a fairy cropdust me? Does this mean a good harvest this year?
 
  I will try to get pic's up in a bit. If the phone will let me.lol

Can not get the pic's to work.

It's pretty common, I got a lot this year too.

Got 40 seedlings right now. 4 of them were tri-cots. All seem to be just fine...
It is more than I've had lately, though...

 

[primal13]

Was wonering. Don't remember seeing them before.

 

[jakester]

Y'know, all of my tri-cots are from seeds I harvested from my plants last year. None from purchased seeds. How about you?

Tricot seedlings are unusual but not really rare. If you search "tricot" you will find other threads about them.

They seem more likely when the plant is a cross, or varieties where there is still some amount of genetic pollution so to speak. Half of my habanero-cross seeds sprouted with tricots.

That's very interesting. Maybe mine are crossed and I don't know it! I guess I'll find out soon enough.

That make's sense, since all three of mine are a cross of something or another.
