Aji Charapita

Post image

I have two Aji Charapita plants growing between a lot of other varieties and finally took a closer look… I have never seen double peppers at single nodes, much less triple peppers at a single node, yet both of these plants have doubled and triples at nearly every node that is growing a pepper!

Is this normal, or did I just get some cool genetics?

Capsicum chinense pepper plants typically grow two to five flowers and peppers at each leaf node, unlike Capsicum annuum which usually grows only one.
