Also since cold is approaching I probably have a coupe of months that I can keep them outside.
Appreciate the advice.
Thanks

I have a Musa Basjoo in my backyard for 8 years now. I don't separate the pups unless I want to plant them elsewhere or a friend wants them. I don't separate until they are 4' tall. I am in Northern VA, I just cut down to a foot and cover up w leaves and mulch for winter. I open it in mid April and it grows to over 15' every summer.
