Should I grow it?

kylestl · Mar 10, 2010

Alright I have this burkina and I am only going to grow 1 of the 2. Usually leaves just grow straight up and out until they get a bit older right? well this guy isn't. One of it's first leaves is split sorta and then it grew another set but one of the first leaves is growing up along the stem and I'm just wondering if it is a genetic mutation like a 3 cotyledon or is just growing bushy already? Oh that is another plant next to it

Thanks guys

Def. grow it. Could be one of your best producers.

yeah that was what I was thinking, couldn't have happened to better pepper, neils burkina scotch bonnet. Maybe not the best type but sure ain't the worst

I think that the bushier the plant the more it can produce so GROW IT :>)

My Burkina Yellow is funny looking too! I think it did the same thing. Got my seeds from Trade Winds Fruit. I've kept it alive so far. Sometime plants that start weird grow normal later.

Could be a hybrid or something, no?
