Last May (2009) a plant in this spot had the flowers cut down to let the pups grow faster. In July 2009 we were able to harvest 12 pups. I kept one large pup and two that didn't have any leaves.
The mother plant had no pups to see. In November the mother plant had 12 more pups. Unfortunately it was to late in the year to take up any pups. Even before the real cold weather,
some of the small pups died. The mother died in December and 5 pups looked good. In this March I had 4 strong pups. The one on the right is one of the pups from the first group.
My site has more pictures of the pups and some of the people that helped me:
My Ae Ae's Brother
Now one of the pups that is only 12 months is blooming. I will let it produce the fruit. I don't want to pups close to the hedge.
