Curious what other plants senior ( and others ) members are into?

Those 'Buddah Hand' citrus are some really strange fruits. Yes, there is a novelty value there, but those things are just plain weird. How / why would a fruiting plant ever get a fruit like that?

Since we are on the strange fruit topic, have you ever seen the Praying Hands banana? It is an actual edible banana, but the 'fingers' on each hand are fused together. If you cut across them, you see that each fruit is separate from the others, but the outer skin is fused to those around it. The fruit is similar to the cooking banana they use in the Philippines, Saba or Dip-pig, it is starchy and not as sweet.
