My yellow moruga/7 pot /whatever others have told me it is has been throwing out wildly different shaped pods all season. Has anyone else noticed this with individual plants or does anyone have an explanation for this? I understand that genetic instability is common in new strains but this is occurring in a single plant. Album of pod pictures - http://imgur.com/a/r5Vef
Pod variation on single plant?

You hit it spot on with genetic instability. That's pretty common especially if its an F1 crossed with another F1. Like anything else, 2 unstable parents create very confused offspringbonehead1996 said:
Okay thanks, the seeds were sold to me as yellow moruga scorpions, and some of the pods have definitley shown the characteristic tails, but as you can see others haven't, so I'm putting that down to it being a cross of some sort
Pods variation (Shape and size) is normal among all peppers, I have seen some pods on the same plant which no way you would believe they are from the same branch.
Yeah some of mine are very bhut looking, and some 7 pot looking and some scorpion tailed. But I like the taste of them and they look pretty so I'm not combining

I know first-hand how much variance there can be on one plant regarding shape and heat, but has anybody grown a plant whose pods differed greatly in flavor?
