Maybe, but my M Itinerans are awfully slow producing pups, preferring to just grow up and up and up instead, and the leaf base structure is still similar, so I can't see any reason it shouldn't work for Musa if it works for Ensete.

I'll post what happens, but that wont be until I next have problems with height (when I usually give them away to the local botanical gardens 1/3 mile away).

Normally there would be less reason to bother with Musa admittedly, but it would reduce the number I have to pass on as outgrown the garden.

Above the 5ft wall is ivy to about 8ft, but anything higher than that gets destroyed by wind in winter and M Itinerans doesn't like losing it's leaves in winter. In that respect I find it more fussy than most types, so I need them under 10ft to be able to move them under te cherry trees for protection.

What I have been doing is only keeping pups, but as they seem to be only producing 1 pup every 2 years, pup requirements are not meeting my needs.
