Default Re: Forcing dwarfing regrowth by smart trimming?

from one of my papers: "In the ‘Grand Nain’ banana floral initiation takes place at 26 -31 leaves when grown in the field, at this time about 12 leaves remain on the plant." generally in the field (a plantation) between 6-12 leaves are needed to support the flower. generally it is around 10-15 but can be more on a vigorous plant, up to 25.
