Hi everyone. I haven't been here for a while, but need to know if I should leave the pups on my Ice Cream banana. Last spring I planted it inground after being in sunroom all winter. It is now about 14 ft tall & too tall to repot in there. I dug it up 2 days ago & it is laying on side in yard to dry roots out. I will lay it on it's side on floor in cool sunroom - covered of course. Thank God we are having record breaking warm Oct - no frost yet.
I left 4 leaves on top that are cut in half, & cut all 4 pups leaves except for the top ones. Is this OK?
I would like to cut the biggest pup (about 3 ft) & pot it, or should I leave them all attached to mother for winter & let them all sleep?
Thanks for any advice & opinions.
Patty
