Default Re: ensete maurelii red-creating pups

I was just reading that the "Ensete" genus only sucker's very rarely which I'm guessing is why you guys are using this method to create pups from your Ensette Maurelli's?

I would like to give this a go next year when I can put my Maurelli back into the ground and I wondered if there were any other issues that may need to worry about, i.e weather, location & time of year? Would it it be best to try this in the spring so as to have plenty of time for the pups to regrow? Would it be better to try this on a potted plant in the greenhouse rather than a plant in the garden?

Sandy how long did it take for the pups to grow before you could remove the pups?

ps. Well done on feeding back your results guys, these type's of experiments are brilliant :-) I had no idea that this could be achieved.
