I remember reading about some of the Ensete group about a year or so ago on here, that the only two ways to get pups from ventricosums, ventricosi, ventricosas (however the plural spelling is) is that you wait for them to flower and die and pup or one person actually sacrificed their maurelli and chopped it down to the ground level and took a big honkin knife and cut it about 2/3's of the way through crosswise through the meristem and it actually pupped through the cuts instead of the outer edge of the corm like most nanners. I'll have to go find that thread now.....
