While they each do have their own corm, it is still not very big. And they might both fruit next year. I went ahead and cut the mama right down the middle, just because I can't store it like it is due to the crawl space door not being big enough (and I can't imagine trying to move it underneath the house like that). I want fast growth and big bunches!
I left the pup attached as well. By removing it, I would be waiting until 2008 for fruit from it. This way, maybe 2007.
