Default Re: Does a corm ever get too old and need to be replaced?

Mat is a large group. They crowd each other out and the large grouping is called a mat. Thinning them out prevents competition for nutrients and space. Individual corms typically don't live long because the suckers keep growing. Many banana cultivars are thousands of years old propagated by suckers.
