Have you ever had a garden plant begin to sprout a new plant from inside? Or have you ever cut open a pepper plant only to find a new beginning to germinate? If you’re wondering exactly what’s going on in the situation, this article is especially for you.

We will be going through exactly what is happening when we see tiny plants sprouting inside of our current fruits. We will be looking at whether or not the new plant can sprout edible veggies and even whether or not the sprouting fruit is healthy for consumption.

The phenomenon of seeing baby plants growing out of adult fruits is called vivipary. Vivipary is the name for seeds germinating inside the fruit.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 - Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.

Leave a comment and let me know where your are gardening. And let me know what videos you would like to see in the future!

Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
 At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science. 
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.
