Can anyone tell me wether bananas flower earlier when you cut the pups off or can you let grow as many pups as there are on the corm or should one
limit the amount?

I will go ahead and give this a shot!.It would be nice to give the regulars here on the forum a little rest:cool:,since they are always so helpful!!! and quick.
The less pups you have ,the more vigorous the plant will be.More energy ETC...
You should leave only one pup(daughter),then let a grandaughter follow.
The more pups in a mat the less production you will get from the plants.
....And I'm still a rookie:08:
