Do pups outgrow mother plant?
I planted 2 Basjoo's last year that each produced 2 pups before winter. They have already begun to grow again this year and the 2 pups on each plant are just growing wild and the original plant seems like it is being slow. Is this normal and will the mother plant eventually take off?

Re: Do pups outgrow mother plant?
It is not uncommon for first generation pups to overtake the parent. The parent has often been uprooted, or been stunted by being in a pot too long, or had some other form of stress which will manifest itself in less vigorous growth, shorter height at bloom, smaller fruit, etc. Nothing to get excited about.
