Mike, believe it or not I do thin out the pups in the mat. But I don't to the extent of only two pups per mother plant. I feed these things constantly so I don't think that the fruit production suffers having more pups. Case in point, the original D. Namwah I planted produced 11 hands. I allowed two pups the same height to grow and each bunch has produced 16 hands of fruit, flowering at the same time (1 wk. apart). Sometimes I just get lazy and don't trim them for a while, but eventually they get taken care of. I added a lot of organic material to the soil prior to planting, and continue to add organics, and supplement with chem. ferts. If the planting beds weren't as fertile, I'm sure fruit production would suffer. Thanks for the kind words!
