Growing Orissa, and some F1's I made from (Blue Satellite (M) x Manga Rosa (F) that i named Carambola, which translates to Starfruit in English. One of the Orissa seedlings skipped the 3 leaflet leaf stage and went from 1 to 5 and this plant is twice the size of the rest, for me it is a sighn of extreme vigor at the seedling stage. I observed this same trait in one of the F1's i started recently as well. I am curious for input and experience into this, as i couldn't find a thread on this subject. Green pot is orissa, other is the Carambola F1
