Default Pup comparison

Since you weren't sure how to ID them, here are some comparison photos.

First, a young Raja Puri in a pot (back stem). It is sending up a "water sucker" type with round leaves and a short spacing between leaves (near stem).



Here are some in ground Ice Cream nanners. I got in in January (+/-) of '08 as a little TC start, it was soon defoliated the first time by our cat, while being kept it in a pot until after the winter freezes. This has been in ground since spring (March +/-) of '08. The freeze of '09 stripped it of all leaves for the second time. (See that in my gallery). (The biggest, brownest p-stem is the one fruiting right now (look in my gallery for that, too).

See how a mature mat sends up a pup FAST. They don't grow much of a leaf, at first, they are just going up. They are very pointed at the top and the leaf blades themselves are more pointed than round.

Small one just came out that day:


Here is one just a little older:


A view of a pup on the back of the mat:
