These are called "traveling bananas", this is the trait that gives Musa itinerans its name because the suckers are itinerant..."traveling from place to place to work" (from a dictionary definition). var. xishuangbannaensis can have suckers up to 5m away, other large species that do this are M. basjoo in some cases and Musa tonkinensis.
