By the way, I've recently read that the ensete don't produce pups spontaniously. Mine in culture have already started sprouting! I'll try damaging a few anyway to see the results. Has any one got any experience of them?

Thanks Dawn
Hello and welcome Dawn,
Ensete do not naturally produce pups in the ground, but in culture they will proliferate like normal with the benzyladenine in the media.
