I've had a couple turn out like this, but who's complaining. |

Frank, I was seeing strange strawberries and bizarre dandelion plants soon after the Fukushima disaster here in Hanover, VA. Can't say it's connected, but there were reports on the Internet from others in other areas of the country with the same two plants showing strange growth. Edit- I did a quick search and found this explanation- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciation Mike in Hanover, VA |

Interesting data, Mike. I wouldn't mind this happening to my trees more often. ;) |

I don't remember who it was but they called Binocular Figs. I thought it was funny too. |

Very cool, Mike. I love how that Peter's Honey looks. |

Much like yours, Frank. I think it's interesting the way the stem on yours is sort of partially differentiated, but grown together. Looks like you can see the initiation of two stems that then grew together pretty early on. I've seen a couple of them over the years that have really a single stem and split more in the neck. Not sure what the Peter's Honey will look like inside (hopefully find out when I pick it... with any luck that'll be within a week, but I want to let it really ripen... I like 'em best when they're really ripe). Fun to see that you've got some that are similar. Do you trace that tree back to Bari, Italy? |

I see the integration of 2 stems too, Mike. I hope yours comes out great. |

Those are called "Twin Figs". Your next project should be to make triplets. |
