TOPIC: 3 Prong with 2 - 2 Prongs

3 Prong with 2 - 2 Prongs 10 years 2 months ago #31128

I found this yesterday and it is the first one I have found like this. Is this unusual or do you all find these regularly? It was so pretty!

Holler root its not uncommon to find more than one plant on a root. I've found many two toppers n 1 with 3 tops. Three tops are more rare. Nice find n nice root.

I found one last week with 3 three prongs stems and 3 necks. found one yesterday with 2 three prong stems and one neck. Apparently they're not common but do happen. Strange plant.
The root on your oddity is much better than either I found.

Good luck

I wouldn't say they are exceedingly rare...but they are certainly not common either. For instance, digging 3 year olds for orders yesterday, I found 2 or 3 of them with double tops and double buds. If I were to guess, I'd say I see one every 2000-3000 roots.

I have found probably 6-8 roots that had two tops and one root that had 3 tops.

In my case all the tops were 3 prong tops.

Nice find !
