I have a jalapeno growing off one of the vines of my tomato plants.
Has anyone ever seen this before? And if so...how did it happen?
While the plants are in the same family, I don't think they actually are similar enough to actually cross. The stem is starting to shrivel on the pepper so it is a few days old. I would think a pepper growing on a tomato would be noticed before it got that big. It does not look like a natural hybrid. It does look to be staged. Even tomatoes grown on potatoes are grafted not natural.
