RE: mutant female?

Scott, I posed a similar question not long ago.  What you have described
seems to be a normal variation.  I have had several like that in the
past couple weeks.  I have had several others that are even more
malformed.  They all seem to set fruit well.  Now I just have to wait
and see how the fruit that they produce grows.
