Seedling with 4 !!! cotyledons ! (NEW PIC / PIC HEAVY) - Page 5

SelfSufficient1 · June 5, 2006

I see no difference between my 4 tri-cots and their other normal counterparts. They are growing no better or worse.

Tomstrees · June 6, 2006

Mine seems to be growing
alot better than before (could be warm weather/rain) -
the intersting part should be from saved seed ...
Will more quad-cots appear ?

Tom, what's the latest on that 4-cot? Great success, I hope!

Tomstrees · June 21, 2006

My quad-cot is def. growing
taller and taller each day -
Its at a slower pace than the
others, but is doing quite well ~
I'm very curious as well to see if
saved seed from fruit (when / if I get fruit)
if other quads will emerge ~
To be continued ...

Thanks, Tom.

Ya gotta like it when odd and strange things happen...very interesting!

Success!!!

Mark -

I agree ...
Even accidental crosses are
fun for me ~

They are happening down under as well

Heres a Soldacki with 4 cots and a split stem, weird.

Tomstrees · July 2, 2006

Mantis -

Cooooool !!!

Mantis · July 2, 2006

Sure is a different speciman. Soldacki plants grow huge with one stem so it will be interesting to see what this one produces

Tomstrees · July 14, 2006

I'm got blooms on my quad-cot ...
Maters in a month !!!

Will you be saving seed from it? It would be interesting to see if it passes its weird childhood on to any of the young'uns.

Tomstrees · July 18, 2006

TheDens ~

I'm saving seed for sure -
Just to try as an experiment ~

Maybe you guys could help me and see
if any other "Mortgage Lifter Quad-Cots"
come about ~

Tomstrees · August 21, 2006

The only growing trait I've
seen is its a dwarf -
Plain and simple - it hasn't
"caught-up" with the size of the "regular"
plant next to it ~
I'm battling blight in my garden as we
speak - The quad-cot has dime sized
toms on it ... I'm hoping I'll
be able to get fruit to seed from it ~
Its just fun to see what happens next
year ...

I planted out my Soldacki in the greenhouse two days ago. It has two distinct stems joined together like two core electrical lead, from the ground, up to where they seperate. It is looking strong. I will try and post a pic here later.

Mantis · August 22, 2006

Here tis. Sorry about the blurry pic. Still not sure how to take a good macro shot. You can see it has two stems fused together that branched out just before cotyledon stage.
