its a harmless condition called fasciation. at some point the growing region has been damaged, probably a sap sucking critter of severe frost. the plant will be fine next year. they are a good curio if you are that way inclined. i am. when we see it i explain it to my girls as being a bit like siamese twins. they are happy with that.
