Re: An improved field method for the rapid multiplication of plantain
Why bother? This seems the same as cutting the P-stem to the ground and damaging the meristem. The corm would naturally start to push more suckers as the apical meristem would have been damaged and could not produce anymore new growth. The only difference I can see using this method is that you would still have a tree standing, although no more leaves or any flower or fruit would be produced, so it seems that only a temporary aesthetic appeal would be gained.
