Miley OMG I cannot believe you just posted that- let me guess, Nirvana Standard papaya>?
I actually came onto this thread again to post that MY Nirvana Papayas started off 'normal' and after the first couple nodes decided, hey! I' gonna go whorled! SO FREAKING ODD.
I assume the trait is heritable. Particularly since we are seeing it appear in the same strain!
Some buffoon was selling seeds on youtube that he claimed were stable for the trait but he was asking like $20,000 USD... HAHA moron.
I am DEFINITELY going to cross these and see if it stabilizes after a couple generations. You know, it is for fun...
