So I have a Tabasco plant I have kept alive a couple years now and I planted some of the seeds. I have this seedling that’s growing. But it doesn’t look like its parent plant. I grew a seedling last year that looked just like a regular Tabasco plant. Here is the new plant and the parent plant. Why are the leaves so much bigger on the seedling Attached File Attached File |

Might be a hybrid that doesn't breed true, could have cross pollenated from another pepper variety, the peppers genetics might not be completely stable even if it is a heirloom, to name a few possibilities. If you've got a pepper you really like you can clone them from cuttings. |
