When to separate hardy banana pups?
Hi, I have three hardy banana plants that I planted last summer. I live in zone 7 but had read that it was best to mulch them heavily for winter. We had a wet early spring and it appeared that the original plants rotted. I now have shoots coming up all around the original plants. Some of them are pretty close together. SHould they be separated? If so, when is the best time to do that? I joined the forum because I cannot seem to find anything that directly answers my question. these plants are near a pool so I don't mind having more plants but want them to get tall so we can see them. I am concerned that the multiple plants might be slowing down the growth of the biggest ones. the largest one is only about 3 feet tall. Thank you so much for your advice!
