Siam Ruby pups will proliferate as it gets bigger, as Fernie says.

I have several with 5-10 pups on plants 1.5'-2' tall. It's wild, I'm selling 1 gallons with up to 7 plants in them for $12.
Those with more than 7 are getting seperated.

Tog Tan

Jazz, both are good choice and prolific 'puppers'!
Just a word of warning on the black thai musa tanee, it gets big to 9+ft at p-stem height. So make sure you have the space and strength to winter it. This is actually the Black pseudostem form of the Musa balbisiana. Check out the Species Forum, there's a thread on it and lots more on the Siam Ruby.
