Default Re: Here's what happens if you don't remove pups

I could see how Keith's approach might work great in the tropics, but it just doesn't translate to areas where the bananas are standing in cold, damp soil. Under those conditions, the plants really aren't growing at all and they are prone to fungal rot. I have definitely seen rotted roots and corms in my yard under those conditions, like Mitchel mentioned. That's one of the risks of growing a tropical plant in non-tropical conditions.
