Re: Can you chop ensete glaucum to get pups?
Not Glaucum, not sure what it is, but definately not glaucum.

Re: Pool Backwash Accident
I see you are in Florida, so I would suggest leaching the area with freshwater. A gallon of fresh water per square foot of soil will pretty much leach everything out of the root zone.
