Is this a pup?
I guess I surely wasn't expecting any pups so early...my basjoos were quite small, and only planted outside on Memorial Day, where they had a tough time with acclimation.
I have been pulling up weeds around them (planning on making a bed around them, haven't got that far yet), and I didn't pull this, that's for sure! Is it a pup? Leaf shape and color sure makes me believe it is, as well as how close it is to the plant.... But my gosh...they were so tiny just a few months ago....to have a pup already, if that's the case, I'm AMAZED! So, if it is, do I leave it till next year? Because they were so small "first years," I planned on potting them and bringing them inside for the first winter. Leave it on the corm? This sure looks like a pup to me...but, aside from pics of older ones, I've never really seen one before!   |

Re: Is this a pup?
Yeah thats definately a pup. I would leave it till next year i doubt it will get big enough to seperate this year. If you protect it good enough it will start growing next year where it stops when the cold comes...

Re: Is this a pup?
Pups are so cute. Yup yup, that's one alright. In no time, you'll start trying to find places to put all the pups once it gets going. XD

Re: Is this a pup?
yep that's a pup alright. Usually they are a little more upright than that to start so looks are deceiving but some banana's pup fast. I have probably got 4 big pups this year off one sikki that wasn't 2 feet tall in February.
