Default Re: African Red propagation experiment

Steve I have seen this method used on a variegated Rajapuri to promote pups so I see no reason why it shouldnt work on most musa's.

Its having the balls to chop down a perfectly good plant. It made me cringe when I had to chop my Ae Ae in half to overwinter it in my polytunnel.

Is there much of a difference between African Red and Jamaican Red?

I have the Jamaican red and I was told by Myles Challis that it was a prolific pupper. Mine has yet to throw up any pups.

Good luck with the propping program as from your pictures of it in flower it looks a beaut.
