In the "Growing Bananas" DVD it seems to be standard practice to do this with commercial vaieties in Hawaii. It shows them cutting off pups that look to be cut down to 3-4' tall and uncerimoniously tossing them in to holes dug about a foot deeper in the commercial plantaions. I wonder though if you'd have better luck starting with a bigger corm. Looking forward to your results. If this works it would kind of be a major breakthrough for all the cold weather growers.
