3 seeds fused into one, strangeness

I found an odd bean the other day from a seed pack. It’s hard and appears to look like 3 seeds fused together. Does anyone know if there is a name for such a thing? Do you think it could have more than one embryo?

How about pretty damn unusual?!

I agree with @joheimgrohen. Definitely see if it will pop and what is awaiting discovery (if anything)! :+1:

My seedling death count is so high, I’m paranoid I’ll kill it :sob:

Maybe a brief hydro + water soak before direct sowing? Or would something like the paper towel method be good to see how many tap roots if any I get. I have a history of getting mold issues with the paper towels no matter how many precautions I try.

I’ll occasionally see double seeds but they get discarded.

I’ve seen twins but only from “regular” single seed.

All the best.

I’ve had the same thing happen with some Bodhi Wookie work I was playin with! They should kick out multiple little babies too. Very cool little mutation.

I also got a ton of twin and triplet seeds from bodhi’s guava hashplant (stardawg guava x 88g13hp)

here’s two triplets

Even got one with five conjoined seeds that looked like a star anise pod.

Same. Thats a crazy looking seed, you should definitely paper towel it so we can see what it does, imho
