How many pups can typically grow?

clarejoe · 06-01-2009, 05:12 PM

I planted out my musa basjoo about 5 weeks ago and it looks like I am getting pups already! I have 4 pups growing up underneath the stem. Is this typical? I expected to get pups maybe next year.

they can have as many pups as they want well feed plants i have one that just put out 12 pups this past 2 weeks all about 2-4 inches high

I pulled 3 or 4 pups off the one I planted last year. I just bought 4 noids about a foot tall and they all have pups-one has 4. I've already pulled a pup off my basjoo that I overwintered in the ground and its already about 3'. It was actually taller that the mother plant but now the mother plant has taken off and is about 4 '.

Basjoo's pup like crazy! Chop em off and spread them around the yard or to friends. I prefer to grow mine in a big clump so I leave most of them on. The mat will also spread that way and will come back stronger in spring.

A large root mass and subsequent grouping will survive a much colder winter unprotected, than one that has regularly had it's off-sets removed.

some nanas pup more then others. i have 3 sabas, and 6 pups off my oronico. i also have basjoos pupping everywhere. dig them up and find a beautiful place in the yard for them. or......pot some up to bring in for this winter.

I tried digging one up that was about 1 1/2 feet tall, but it didn't have any roots on it! I just stuck it in the ground to see what happens! At what point (size) do the pups develop their own roots?

I just seprated two basjoo got roots an corm with one and no roots or corm with the other. hope for the best.

mskitty38583 · 06-18-2009, 12:51 PM

if you dig them at an angle off the mother crom you can get some of her roots for the pup. i dont usually wack mine off till they are about 2 to 2 1/2 ft tall.

I think the bsajoo baby that had some roots will fine. my mother plant is put out pups like crazy does anybody know how many a basjoo how many pups they put on. i sperated a praying hand pup 3days ago and its growing fast.

My 3 year old Basjoo mat has put out 17 pups this year, and this is after I separated 2 to plant elsewhere.
