Default Re: How to: Musa corms?

I'd only remove the tip/top if it were looking like it were rotting and not growing. Sometimes you need to clear the top to get it going if it's mushy.

I had to cut my Dw Brazilian 4 times before I got it to grow. I'd cut into the nice part of the pstem, and it wouldn't dry out, but only get mushy. I'd cut it lower and it would mush out again...

It's growing now....
