Default Re: How many pups

I have recently been reading that different varieties seem to vary in their apical dominance. Some cultivars pup freely, while others don't pup until they have started to flower.

From my own experience, Dwarf Nam Wah pups profusely while the plantains do not. I've also noticed enormous differences in the ease of getting suckers separated from the mother. Gran Nain and Enano común plantain are extremely easy to pull suckers off of, while Hua Moa and Agristarts Misi Luki have given me fits of rage due to the number of suckers that broke off under ground.
