Has anyone seen this weird phenomenon before?

[jbeer32]

I harvested a bunch of red bhuts today and came across these two bizzare looking pods. They look like they are either siamese twins, tumorous growths, or male pods

Anyone ever see this before?

 

[fishing4fun2]

Not that drastic personally but i do have a bhut jokila that produced a offshoot near the stem that ripened while the rest of the pod was still green..
So what do you call those? Double your heat?

 

[slpknt10l03]

is that a trait you could breed into a peppers or is that the result of something in the environment?

Must be something in the cow manure that I used to amend the soil prior to planting. Makes for a cool looking pod though.

 

[geeme]

None of my own pods have ever done that, but the leaves occasionally do. However, I've seen others post pics of theirs doing the same thing, so it seems somewhat "common".

Please don't call it a new cultivar such as, "Devil's Forked Tail" or something as that would really irritate armac.
Just giving you a hard time armac.

Anyone think I should save the seeds to attempt to isolate the trait if possible?

 

[TOAW]

They just glad to see you.

Double flowers cause that sort of thing. I had several on my morich plants this last summer. It's like Siamese twin peppers.

 

[megahot]

I'm with Naga Chomper on this one! Its just conjoined twins! lol

 

[peterjack]

I think its pretty common, here's mine
I call it unicorn bhut! hahaha

Unless you're seeing it on a majority (or even more than a couple) of your peppers, I'd chalk it up to environmental / randomness instead of genetics.

I've had a Veitnamese "bird" type do the same thing except not quite so long and it ripened much earlier than the rest of the pod.

Rhody sent.me a chocolate bhut with simlar trait

 

[Super David]

yes I've had that!

Bhut Jolokia Nasal Strain :

Ive never had that happen..yet. It would be cool to see if that mutation carries on through the genetics or it is a physical defect.

If it was me I would have to save the seed and and give it go.
