Yes, from personal experience, if you cut too many pups out the main plant may fall over as it cuts off too many roots.
Don't understand. To sever a pup all that is needed is to sever the connection to the Mama and pull the pup out of the ground. No cutting needed! If you're thinking of 6 to 8 ft pups --- well ---they aint pups anymore.
