A couple of my sumatrana x cross pups and one of the Kokopo pups are nearly outgrowing the main stalks --even though everyone looks as healthy as can be I had wondered if that was normal or not.
Thanks!

Well I tried to take some off earlier this year but only got three. The beast went crazy and next thing you know it flowered. Everything else is continuing to blow up. No slowing down and that one on the right is approaching 10' of pstem and throwing another leaf as we speak. The pup I planted in the ground already has 4 pups (hacked off very end of April).

To answer you question, I guess it is ok. Would Lou have given me more fruit? Maybe but there looks to be about 70 fingers on round one. Now I'm hoping Lou #2 doesn't flower this year. That would be tragic.

My X Cross is not growing super fast but I kept it in a pot until last week so maybe it will jump over the next 2 months. Both truly tinys are getting big, both super healthy.
