Hey All,

I have a Blue Java that has 2 pups and I was going to remove to send to people. I figured the main plant is only about 5 feet tall and should definitely produce more pups before it finally fruits.
Wrong
I went out to cut them off the other day and found a Flag leaf emerging! At Only Five Feet Tall!!!


Tried uploading another photo but site wouldn't work. Anyway.....

My question, Is it OK to remove at least one pup while it is fruiting? I didn't know if it will that cause the plant to devote energy to repairing the damage and producing more pups, thereby affecting fruit production or, will removing at least one pup provide MORE energy for fruit production?

Thanks in advance
