LOL. I actually was able to remove that and the other pup. So where I had two - now there's four. I've actually had a pretty good success rate with very small suckers. I had two I chopped almost in half back early this spring, put them in water and they kept growing - still doing well with several leaves now in their own pots.

Real surprising thing about these 4' pups... they are off a banana that was in the ground for it's first year - just planted it in April. I guess the location behind the house was perfect. It's my largest basjoo now by far.
