Please forgive my ignorance but I am assuming the sword sucker in the picture is on the right? I have a number of these on my basjoo and I want to know when I should separate them from the mom. I want to be able to eventually transplant them when the time is appropriate. I live in southern Illinois, zone 6a, no frost or freezing yet but will soon. I plan to leave my moms in the ground after cutting down to 12" and mulching heavily.
Do I separate the pups now or do I wait until spring? I would like to transplant them directly in the ground in the spring if it is advisable. Thanks so much for any info...oh yea, exactly what is a pstem?
