Default Re: Water suckers

Often times when I have water suckers coming up something is wrong. My Ice Cream, which was several years old, was sending out keiki very quickly. After digging it up & cutting into the corm did I find the problem. Weevils.

This year I may have the same issue. The eldest mat now, Dwarf Chinese, is sending out numerous water suckers. Time to dig it up & salvage what is available. It is better to find nanners that are resistant to these things.
