I’m still pretty confused in regards to if I should desucker, or leave my suckers to grow. There seems to be a lot of conflicting points in this thread.
I have 2 mother Ice Cream Banana plants that are outside in the ground. One mother has two pups, and the other has three. I was going to desucker them, but now I’m reading in this thread that it may be more useful to keep them if you want a steady stream of bananas rather than a big clump followed by a banana-drought. Seeing as I’m the only person in the house that likes bananas, I think it would be better if I had a steady-stream of fruiting rather than all-at-once. Does that mean I should just let my bananas do what they do, and stop bothering them? Or should I still de-sucker at 4+ pups?
The other conflicting finding is that some folks are posting little tiny nubs of a sucker, while I’ve previously read that you need to wait until they’re 1 foot tall before de-suckering. Which is it?
My, oh my, bananas are confusing.
