Default Re: Bird of paradise

I suppose the one you mean is Strelitzia nicolai. There are two more species of large bird-of-paradise (S. alba and S. caudata) but mines are still small and I have have few experience with tehm

Regarding my S. nicolai they has been frozen back two times and basally re-grown with many suckers.
You can let it free-suckering ( I am sure it will do in some months) and then cut the main steam.
