Aloha from Ventura!
Hi all, suppose I should have made my post here my first but better late than never right! I'm excited to start growing my own banana's and look forward to sharing stories and swapping advice along the way. I'm container bound for now but hopefully will be buying a new house soon with plenty of room to put some banana's in the ground! I currently have 1 manzano with 5 pups, but will be picking up some dwarf brazilians soon. Thanks all and have a great day! Look forward to talking with you all in the future!
Aloha from Ventura!

Re: Aloha from Ventura!
So I've been told, I had read elsewhere that I should let one pup grow to replace the p-stem after fruiting and then allow 3 or 4 small pups around the main stem to stabilize it so that was why I had left them. However the general consensus here is that I should remove them all now and wait until the p-stem has flowered before I start raising up a replacement.

Re: Aloha from Ventura!
You can leave them all, remove them all or remove some leave some.I don't believe there will be that much difference.

Re: Aloha from Ventura!
Well now I'm confused.....? Since I'm growing in a container is that a better case for removing them?

Re: Aloha from Ventura!
So far I only have dwarf cavendish in a container and I try to leave just one pup in each one, anything over that gets separated into a new pot.
