I finished pricking out my Chili/Pepper/Capsicum seedlings yesterday and noticed a Tricot in one of my Jimmy Nardello plants.
An oddity that you get from time to time.

Strange. Sometimes you get fuchsias with leaves coming in threes around the stem rather than twos. These are good to look out for if you want to train the fuchsia as a standard because you get a naturally bushier head. Could you train a standard pepper?

This is exactly what happened to one of my geraniums this year - at least I've the correct term for it now!
I sowed 20 and one germinated within an amazing 3 days! The others more like 7-10 days with 4 which didn't seem to take off. One failed completely, then 2 started out of the blue and as I was about to dump the 2 failed cells noticed this last one with 3 starter leaves - tricots! Whether this will lead to a better plant who knows - but it was quite fun to find it.

Tricots in peppers aren't too unusual. I plant around a hundred seeds a year. Twenty or thirty different varieties. And I'll usually get roughly five tricots.
However it's only the seed leaves that are tricot. After that they always revert to the standard pairs.Comment
