I forgot to mention that it is a cross of correia-araujoi x Beesteak. And the picture still does not want to attach itself. I even tried to restart my computer, so there must be a bug in GardenWorld's system! I'll keep on trying though!

I've seen early pupping on a few of mine, but I would say it is unusual.

It happens on my spring seedlings...rarely on the fall seedlings

Hi Avane, I had about 30% of my Ae. Lueddemanniana seedlings throw multiple pups but only the occasional Neo.

All the best Nev.

Japie, as regards the color: that is entirely normal for Neo seedlings to show color or markings only towards the base at first. Often that's all I have to go on when I choose which ones to spot off from the community pots into trays. It may not necessarily be the best indicator of things to come, but you have to use some kind of criteria if you don't want to grow them all out.
