Default Re: Is Raja Puri also prone to this kind of phenomenon?

my Rajapuri did the same thing . I cut all of my plants down to1 '1/2 to 2' after the first frost and this spring my Rajapuri , Ice cream , Orinoco , and Dwarf orinoco mother plants turned to mush and sent out pups. One of my orinoco developed huge pups and eventually began to push leaves itself. The first leaf was very, very skinny the second was skinny for the first 6" then widened to normal size. The latest leaves are perfectly normal.

I took some pics and if you look close you will see all of the mother plants.
You may also notice a lot of frost damage on earlier leaves . This was from the crazy easter freeze this year. There is also a pic of the crazy skinny leaf. You may notice that I have an Itenerens next to one of the orinoco. I overwintered this little guy indoors and when I thought the orinoco was history I put the itenerens in the ground a few feet away. It never grew over 2'.
