Dan,

I would be interested to see if they keep growing.

I just cut down a Hua Moa that fruited last month. Over the past year, the single trunk tried to put out 4-6 pups that just grew about 2-4 inches then stopped. AFTER I cut down the fruited trunk, these pups have all taken off.

I also have a Goldfinger that did the same thing - nice ring of pups all around the single main trunk. That trunk is now in fruit and none of the pups are over a foot tall.

Most of my other plants throw off pups that keep growing.

One commonality to these plants is that they all came from Going Bananas also. They were planted in my yard in Pembroke and I dug them up (single plant about 5 ft) and transplanted them here about almost 3 years ago. Obviously severe shock as it has taken over 3 years to fruit. Hopefully the second gen plants will fare better.

So I'm interested in knowing if your Hua Moa pups keep growing or just stop and sit there.

Oh yeah, I loved the Hua Moa fruit - especialy when very ripe. BUT the center vein where the teeeeeny seeds are, needed to be cut out as it was pitthy. Wonder if this is normal?

Take care - Terry
