Beyond Pineapple seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

A selected seedling with exaggerated notching and knobby "pineapple" growth that it holds even on its .Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
HybridCross: A seed-grown plant from two named parents, written mother × father.
Of the 6 things this page says, 3 name who reports them and 3 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going. Arrow keys move between them.
Each plant wears its own seal here, coloured by its family — so a cross shows which side brought what before you read a name. A dashed ring is a plant with no page here yet, and a wire is only ever drawn from a parent somebody wrote down. Children are worked out from the other entries rather than stored on this one, so recording a cross anywhere lights it up on both plants.
The line matters as much as the box. A dashed line is a cross we can report but cannot confirm. Every cross drawn here is at that weakest reading, which is the true state of this plant's record.
Drawn 3 generations each way. Everything our sources record for this plant is in the drawing; the family stops there, not the tree.
The owner's catalogue records this plant as grown out of TPQC × genetics, a pairing the TPQC page also notes; the sides shown here follow the mother-first order crosses are written in, as neither account says which plant carried the fruit.Reported, but not confirmed.

What the sources say
The wider point behind the owner's account — that a mutant seedling may or may not keep its traits — is well supported: plants alternate between normal and strange growth, and many start out looking ordinary. Of the two stated parents, TPM is documented; "TPQC" reaches our sources only as a name some growers think may be the same plant as another .Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
