Hi Pmurphy,

How did you get these pups? Did you have to cut off the p-stem of the mother plant? And if so,
when? I am in the early stages of an experiment trying to get pups without killing the mom.
I only started a week ago and intent to post a write-up with pictures, once I know if there
is any success or not. My mother plant is still quite young, but I wanted to start early enough,
to allow some time for the pups (if any) to develop before frost. I live in HZ6 (Penticton).

As far as your question is concerned, I would wait a bit longer, if you also want to save the
small ones.

Good luck,
Olaf
