I think I know what you are referring to. I have two plants of the same variety that
have the main stem split at about 6-8 inches. Both stems are identical in height and
leaf structure on each. Same thing last year, same variety.

What are your seed sources?
Just my second year growing dwarfs so less familiar than others.
I believe it would be unusual to have different leaf types on multiple varieties with
released stable dwarfs or any op varieties.
I do have one this year but i'm growing out both to see if it is a cross or same fruit.

Most of my dwarfs are at the 3 ft mark now and just about to set fruit. Lots of flowers.
Yes I stake mine and start to tie up at about 2 ft.

I tried to get a pic this morning...but the split did not come out clear. This is the two
main stems at the top. (I do prune any side shoots at ground level but that is rare).
