Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Spot the anomaly

Not met many people who can't grasp the idea of fruit. Just as well ehYou know plants have ovaries too. So we call his phenomena putting it in words people can understand.
I believe that somewhere on Fatalii's Bonchi page there is a how to that shows several seedlings braided together to form a braided style trunk on the Bonchi. They will eventually graft together. It is something I have wanted to try for several years now.
Very cool plant Simon.

Thanks - but totally accidental. Actually, I have been thinking about throwing some different seeds together and seeing what happens...so maybe next time I will give it a "deliberate" try. Maybe...red, yellow and orange!
They do eventually graft together but it takes a couple years from my understanding of what I have researched so I don't see how its possible for them to be stuck together
Perhaps a hybrid 101 sticky is in order? I have been on this forum for close to a year, and have read many many threads, but this is the first I have heard of this. I always thought growing two plants close enough to cross pollinate could result in an immediate hybrid. Thanks for the education. The more I read on this site, the more I realize how little I actually know about gardening, and hot peppers in general. The wealth of information here is just amazing.
Actually, info allovertheplace.
But a good link for starters (got from another thread here and put into my favorites) is:

Be careful.
Once you wade into the shallows, the deep sucks you in, then------there be dragons.
I had a Aunt that swore that growing a hot pepper next to a tomato would cause the tomato to cross with the pepper and the next year when you grew the seeds you would end up with tomatoes that tasted like hot peppers, I could not change her mind to save my life. Its funny how some people take misinformation to heart.
What is needed is a short course on horticulture stuck in the Grow section explaining how things work or something of that nature.
I could see how something like that could be mistaken when one plant basically comes up from the bottom of another plant and look like it was part of the other.
The give away should be the completely different colored pod or in some cases a wildly different pod shape when all the rest looks like they should be.

This past season I had a C. annuum "labuya" that I got from Chris that produced red pods early in the season before the main part of the plant toppled over (from being too laden with pods). One of the shoots coming up from the base of the plant started to fruit around September, and its pods were identical in form and flavor but brown in color. I attributed this to a somatic mutation, but maybe it was an early/late season thing. It was never like I had both red and brown pods at the same time. Has anyone else seen something like this?
