It is a sure thing, after losing all leaves the plant begins the process of dying. The peduncle/fruiting
stalk will begin to rot and will collapse before any additional significant fruit filling has occurred.

Usually when someone refers to "the other shoots in the mat" as an aid, they are trying to insinuate
that the "plant to mat" or "plant to pups" relationship can exchange nutrients in both directions.
This does not appear to be true, although a dying plant's corm does rot at a significantly slower rate
when connected to pups, this still appears to be an unidirectional exchange of nutrients.
