Default Re: Seperating pups & then choping leaves

In most cases, if we are talking a pup, we are talking about a sword sucker, which generally has few, if any, true leaves, even at 36" tall for tall varieties, so it is somewhat of a moot point. If it is a dwarf variety, then you are probably removing a shorter sucker, but it will still have few true leaves. If it is a water sucker, then it will have a lot of leaves, and probably not as many roots.

If we are talking a fully leafed out plant, then we are probably not talking a pup.
