Default Re: Impatient Dwarf Orinoco

Some varieties are very sensitive to pup removal near flowering and others seem unfazed. Any disturbance of the root mat is a stress factor and can cause growth irregularities and if it occurs close to flowering my affect fruit size and quantity. Cavendish family type seem particularly sensitive.
