If you can cut the pup down to the growth point w/ no damage the mother corm gets to use the cut-off pups roots. Cutting off 2 pups and leaving two pups only strengthens the possibilities of fruit. If the 2 cut pups come back you didn't get down far enough in the center of the pup.. Practice make perfect.. :^) If it were my 6 ft'er I'd knock all the pups to the ground. More pups will emerge. :^) You can grow for more plants or you can grow for fruit.. or you can be somewhere in between.. Almost sound like politics.. lol :^)
