Apparently it’s called tricotyly! I feel like I probably could’ve guessed that…

Yes! It’s a common mutation. Always fun to see. Out of about 40 of my tomato seedlings sprouting right now one has a triple seed leaf mutation.
Keep an eye out for other common mutations as they grow such as a flowering truss transforming back into a leafy growth stem, always interesting to see.
