I don´t have huge knowledge.................or scientific knowledge..........but when I rebuilding my garden...................the roof of the barbecue structure felt down upon one of my Bananas....................the Dwarf that was with 50cm................
For miracle...............the roof did´t kill the tree................but chop all the leaves.................
The Pstem was intact...............
The pup sprout one week after the accident......................
I´m happy because I´m able to double my "Banana field"................removing the "Churrasqueira".........................but I almost loose my special Dwarf....................a gift from a very special people...............
Here in Brazil we are in the end of the winter....................so this Pup sprout is a bit out of the season..........................
And I credit this to the all leaves cut off............................
Another issue................is about the frost....................when burn the mother....................
After that................the mother dries.....................and many pups emerge.............
For me there is a link with the mother plant...........................if the mother is stressed for some reason.....................the pups emerge.................
