I've found this happens frequently with tomatoes.

The thing I googled mentioned sunflowers and daturas - some other things I can't remember. From our experience on here it does seem to be an aubergine speciality doesn't it? Shall we report back when they get their true leaves - and further?

Flummery found an aubergine with three, not long ago - sounds like it might not be uncommon in the Solanaceae!

I wonder if there's any advantage in having 3 leaves? Like, for instance, if they continue in 3s like my aubergine, will it increase the number of flowering stems? I'm thinking articularly of tomatoes. I've heard of someone having a tricot cabbage plant - this WOULD be an advantage since it's the leaves you're after. I was once told that if you want to produce a standard fuchsia you should look for a cutting with 3 leaves per node as they bush out faster. I tried it - you can find these sometimes at garden centres - and it's true!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Well, my 3 leaved tom is a Maskotka and I have one planted at the same time and which emerged on the same day but with two seed leaves. I'll treat them both the same and see what the production on each one is like. They'll be off to the cold green house in few weeks time and then into double size growbag. I wonder whether if I kept seeds from the toms on the 3 leaf they would, in turn, provide more 3 leaved varieties next yearsi'sraisedbed
