Hi all!
I am growing some plantain of the Cuerno de Alce variety (can I call it a cultivar?) After harvesting the bunch of the main plant and cutting it off, I find myself trying to determine what to do with the pups!
This particular plant produced 4 pups. Im thinking of leaving two of them on the current mat and transplanting the other two elsewhere. I numbered the plants on the photo to for easy reference. As of right now im thinking of keeping number 1 and 3 on the current mat. Would you keep different ones to keep on the mat? Would you keep only 1 or 3 or 4?!
Any ideas and the rationale behind those ideas would be a good learning tool into the minds of my fellow banana growers )
Thanks
