Default Re: Question on cutting up corm for shipment

Thanks, Jon. One bud was protruded about 3/4" or so already while the other was maybe only a 1/4", but both were maybe 1" in diameter. They are located about 125 degrees apart, so they could probably both emerge okay if planted upside down. That's strange that it happens that way with your stumps, maybe it's because they aren't buried and stay more moist. What do you think the cause may be?

By the way, this was a corm from the pup I bought from you last June. The top leaf that emerged this spring didn't get very big and it just quit growing so I had just cut the pseudostem down to near the ground yesterday to see if it would start over. It had one large pup that was too big to travel and two small ones that were maybe too small to travel (espeially sine he wanted to remove roots) and I had already sent off a pup to someone else in a trade about a month ago. It has grown well for me.

Thanks,

Harvey
