Default Re: Is that true...?

Hi all,
I have confirmed a banana grower who told me that it is true that the mother
pseudostem resprouts from the place it is cut off in a height about 30~50cm
above the ground level even after banana fruits are harvested.

He at the same time said which one to use as a next generation it depends
on the situation whther he finds good sword suckers around there or the resprouted news leaves seem to be more vigorous than the suckers.

I think as normally sword suckers are vigorous than the resprouted young
leaves the fact that an old mother pseudostem resprouts has been forgotten
and neglected.
