Dwarf Cavendish getting old

Hi all, I've had this Dwarf Cavendish for about three years now in a 15 gallon container. Once it broke dormancy this spring I transplanted it to a 25 gallon pot because it was very root bound. Now it's about 3 feet tall and pushing new leaves like crazy with regular water and fertilizer. As I expected, it has (unfortunately) also resumed sending up pups. I'm hoping to get fruit from the main culm eventually but want to know if I should remove the pups or leave them alone? Best,

Kane

I'm alternating between granular Osmocote and liquid Miracle Gro every two weeks

Re: Dwarf Cavendish getting old

My banana tree has about 4 pups around it. IS there a reason to remove the pups??
Sorry, did not mean to hi-jack the thread :)

Osmocote should never be applied that often.

What Miracle Gro formula are you using?
