Its just a single growth, with a tiny new growth just starting...Michael apologized for the quality and even offered to let me send it back, maybe because it is tilted in the pot, but I'm happy.....no problems a repotting can't cure. Eric- planted the jolokia's outdoors this weekend. Not many..2 bhut jolokia's (large fruit) and 1 bih jolokia (small fruit)...but with that heat, you don't need much......take care, Eric
