To desucker or not?
Hello all, btw thanks for all the welcomes.
I have a dwarf namwah plant abt. 4'. It has a sword sucker...should I remove this (its abt 8") before plant flowers or just leave it alone and let it do its thing? Thank you banana experts in advance. |

Re: To desucker or not?
Just leave it alone. If the mother pstem blooms then the new pup is the next year's stem to bloom. ... On my nanas I don't remove any of the pups except when I'm giving one away. The pups don't take away that much of the fertilizer. But I also apply fertilizer to account for all 2nd year plants.

Re: To desucker or not?
One pup? Leave it. Pups also provide additional anchoring for plants with fruit hanging on them.
