I have a nice sized ice cream growing in my back yard. Theres about 7 or 8 pups growing with it. They are growing amazingly fast. I really don't want such a large clump. Id like just a single stalk. Can I just (gulp..) slash down the pups (dont hate me)? I dont want a jungle, and it appears they are well on their way. Do I need to leave one pup as a replacement?:0517: :2118:

Yes you can cut them off at ground level, they will grow back though. Or you can dig the pups out, here is a good pictorial : http://www.bananas.org/showthread.php?t=1814

PUP KILLER! I sent my poor Ice Cream to FL to go forth and propagate and you are wanting to off it's offspring! Be ashamed! LMAO!!
Weren't we talking about shade last May?

Oh Kabby I know!! but what started out as a beautiful single stalk has now turned into a jungle that has monkeys swinging from limb to limb. I cant even see the barn from the house anymore. I did take a few pups and put them around the year, so I didnt commit total bananacide. Thanks, Nanaman, for your answer. Thats what Ill do with the rest of the "weeds!!".:banana-computer:
