Excellent Gabe!!!! .... As a hobby grower, most of us do not have the need warm weather & time to produce the big heavy bunches with large banana fingers even with the careful punning and management like the commercial banana plantations. .... So by allowing the mats to expand (not removing pups) helps to insure a few of the corms will survive the winter & may be a couple of those will produce fruit in the following summer. .... I have one nana variety that was nearly wiped out by a hard freeze. One lone rhiome (not a corm) put a sprout up the following summer. It has taken 3 years for the plant to finally start going and pupping. So my FhIA-18 is recovering.
