I heard about a simaler mutation through Dave Dewitt's weekly email newsletter. They believe it's due to a pesticide build up but I grow organically so that rules it out.

I have had the same thing happen on a bunch of my bird peppers, but much closer to the stem almost like siamese twins or something. Weird stuff.
That is actually a common thing with smaller peppers. I had this with an assorment of peppers includiing (and most prominatly in) my Bolivian Rainbow Chilies.gardenkiller said:

You're quite welcome.gardenkiller said:
that is strange. I've seen the mutation inside the pod but havent seen it on the outside yet.
Wow Pam, I've never seen one that long on a pepper. Usually those types of growths are very small.

From the same plant that brought you the above picture at the start of this thread brings a whole nother bag of strangeness......peppers within peppers. About ever 6 out of 10 peppers harvested have a little baby Burkina growing inside it.
Now, this is a common thing seen in the pepper world. What is uncommon about it is that it is consistant and reliable.

Nope
Be fun to find out if they'll grow like that again.
They do get weird.
