Leaves coming in threes rather than pairs - Blueberry

[RickyRicardo]

Hello, I have a Blueberry plant that I have been growing from seed to become a mother plant (feminized) for propagation.

Beside being a slow grower, this plant has something I have not seen before in plants I have grown (fairly new to growing, but have started quite a few seeds over the last year).

Leaves do not come in pairs on opposite sides of the stalk but in threes. A picture is worth a thousand words:

I have just trimmed the tops and new growths are coming between each leaves, and this is at all leves on the plant, from the type it germinated (the plant had the first two set of leave that are not quite leave yet and then three heads emerged)

Anyone knows if this is good, bad or what is the significance of this?

yeah i had a fire bubba by OGR do that, not a big deal. you will get a nice yield. the clones you take wont carry that trait over, they will come out normal. enjoy her man, its one of the rare random finds ~SMF~

if i am not mistaken tri-folate(sp?) leaves on BB are indicative of a special,desirable plant.

most times it will grow out of it and resume normal growth.
Peace..

Tripoliad - meaning tri branching

within the Blue family lies many a mutant, discard it at once or suffer the consequences ! sometimes mutants turn out dank, its a tough decision as u can c

Conflicting advice

So potential desired trait, ephemeral situation, or something with dire consequences?

Who do I listen too? I guess I will take the opportunity for one extra cutting per node for now and report back.

However, if anyone ran into this with blueberry, in would like to hear from it.
