*3 way split. Is this common?! Pic

Annuums usually have a main stem that forks into two. Chinenses are all over the board. You just have a normal chinense - but a very health-looking one at that!
 
Let it go for a bit, bet if you look at those branches, one of the three is a fusion of two....
The few I have grown that split in 3 instead of two actually were a four way with two fusing....
Interestingly enough, both of my butch ts did that, one at the main first fork and another off a branch....
 
This happened on my tepin x lemon f2.
