I mean if you can create so much plantlets with that process. And because different varieties appear.
But than again, why happens it to the Siam Ruby and not others?
We need a TC-specialist I think?
I transplanted my siam ruby to a friends house the other day, and cut out some suckers for myself to continue it at my house. I removed 4 altogether out of 6 that were present. Only two of the six were attached to the mother corm, which I left alone. 2 of the others appear to be individual plants, each with it's own sucker. BTW, the corm was very small, and the root structure was under developed, compared to other potted bananas I have grown to that size. Six plants in all were growing in that 10 gal pot, and it wasn't close to being root bound!
