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 |
