Why do all my jalapeeners have weeners this year?

Like 90% of the fruit on this plant is growing like this

    I have no idea but it’s hilarious. Try to propagate the plant, I want one lol

    It’s probably a mutant. There’s a name for those growths that I can’t remember but it’s not too uncommon. You should save the seeds from that one and start your own variety of jalapenis 😂

    I dunno, but you’ve accidentally created a hilarious novelty plant and I would at least save seeds if not do a stem cutting and propagate it. If that one gives you Jalapenis’ too, then you’ve got yourself a patentable plant!

    I grew several double tomatoes last year and they all looked like butts or boobs it was so hilarious to me. I get a laugh out of the funny looking ones.

    They all look like this? It almost looks like it got damaged or bit in that area and I forced it to grow out awkwardly

    it’s called internal proliferation. It’s not harmful, just weird looking. It’s still edible and usually happens when temperatures change.. I’m in Oklahoma zone 7 and our weather can really be tricky. The one you have grown here is actually really pretty and looks just the same as the veggies “Misfits” company sells. Hope this helps and happy growing!

    was this side by chance pressed up against the stem and it started to grow around it a bit? Kind of looks like that to me. But kinda looks like your jalapeño is flexing on the haters.

    I’m growing a variety this year that’s called Peter’s Penis Pepper.

    This happened to one of my Hungarian hot wax plants last year. I think it has something to do with how hot it is when the flower gets pollinated. Kind of like a minor fasciation I guess. Peppers were still good, they didn’t get very big though.

    It’s actually called Jalepeno fasciation. There are several possible causes like genetic mutation or environmental stress. r/fasciation is just for all different types.

    Tomatoes do this too! Has it been overcast for a few weeks? When it’s cloudy, tomatoes and peppers aren’t able to take up as much potassium which causes the fruits to develop lil weiners. This happened to the tomatoes and peppers during a particularly rainy summer while I was working on a vegetable farm

    The first few from my overwintered plants were like this. Now they are all normal.
