Bananas.org - View Single Post - Pups: Container grown vs. in ground bananas

BB73 · 07-15-2010, 07:19 AM

Hi everybody,

I was searching all over the .org, but couldn't find any answer to the question I was thinking of:

Will plants, that are grown in containers, pup less and/or later than plants that are grown in the ground?

From my understanding there should be less pups coming up in pots or containers in general and also appearing later, because the space is limited, but maybe somebody has had some experience with this?
A side by side comparison with one plant in the ground and the same in a pot could answer this? (I assume soil/fertilizing and watering to be equal).

There might be also differences between cultivars? Some would pup more or less equally (number of pups and time to first pups) in ground compared to be grown in pots and some may show huge differences?

Might be interessting for those who want to see "babies" as soon as possible in pots and could help for chosing the right cultivars.

If this questions has been discussed earlier, please post the link!

Thanks
