Hello all. This is my first post, although I have been a member for several years. I have enjoyed reading many, many of your posts. I have a question concerning a Super Dwarf Cavendish plant I have. I live in zone 8b, and the plant in question dies down after first frost, is mulched, and comes back out in our spring. My question concerns the new pups as they come up. I would like to propagate some of them to keep in pots in case we have a really cold winter, and the mother plant dies. As there is initially no mother plant to remove from, at what point can I safely dig up one of the pups. None of the pups seem to be sword pups, as all emerging leaves seem pretty broad. The three Pups that have come up so far are currently about 2 inches tall, and are about 10 inches apart. The base of the clump was about 2.5 feet in diameter last fall.
Thanks in advance for any responses :)
