maidenhead sucker is just a large non-fruiting pseudostem
Does this mean essentially that it's just an over-large pup and I should leave it attached to be the fruiting stem next time?

In other words, at the 3" level, there are only sword and water suckers and a maidenhead is just one that has grown to be very large? I'm sorry that I am slow in getting this, I just want to make sure I get things right.
