Re: Older Corm
If your plants are well fed and watered, the first bunch will be smaller than subsequent bunches. By the 3rd bunch, it shouldn't be making any larger bunches. However the plants needs to be continually managed in order to produce the biggest bunches. If you feed and water your plants and live in a suitable climate, you will get rewarding bunches for a long time. I have seen very very old uncared for mats produce lots of fruit. Fruit quality and bunch size are not lost with age unless nutrients are depleted.
