RE: how far should i plant a Saba from my neighbors fence?

Your worry was not wrong. SABA comes with problem of extended pups with the passage of time. But you can control it up to some level.

You could cut the pups down to soil level, but don't cut the corm, if you want to concentrate growth on the main stalk. You'll have to prune them back periodically though, as they will still grow. Cutting them off of the main corm could set back the mother stalk a little. Why not just let them grow?

It's not like you have lots of pups to worry about yet, just one. That way if something was to happen to the main stalk, you'd still have a pup there. You just have to take care of the neighbors fence ;)
