Re: To remove or not to remove pups for replanting purposes
1) Limiting root damage during pup removal will be critical. Other wise fruit production will suffer greatly.
2) Some varieties need to have pup(s) to provide anchoring and stability to the parent plant because the parent does not maintain enough roots after flowering and while the fruit is maturing. This is probably more of an issue away from the tropics, esp. with fall flowering plants that are overwintered.
