Default Trifoliate Seedling?

Hello

I noticed to my delight, that one of my Stump of the World tomatoes emerged with three cotyledons! I tried to look up information regarding trifoliate tomatoes, but couldn't find any information that was suited for someone other than a doctor of botany.

I've planted about 500 or so seeds this year, and the Stumps took by far the longest time to germinate of any variety (interestingly enough, my 8 year-old Mennonite heirloom seeds were the quickest by far!) so I was pleased to see an example of something so seemingly rare.

Does anybody know if trifoliate growth patterns/fruit setting is any different than a regular tomato? Also, if I isolated this plant and let it self-seed (assuming it can, being trifoliate) would the resulting generation also be trifoliates?

I will post a picture as soon as I replace the batteries in my camera!!

All the best,

Nader
