| May 2008 I bought a Musa Rajapuri Banana. It came in a 4 inch pot and was about a foot tall. By the end of 2008 it had grown into a nice size plant and seem to like it's new home.
By 2010 Mama had three pups and was showing no sign of bearing fruit. April of this year (2011) I pulled two of the pups and re-potted mama with one pup hoping this would redirect her energy to pushing out a flower. It's been two months since two of the pups were removed from the main plant and they are doing very well. But in the last week I have seen two more pups sprouting right next to Mama. Now I'm not sure what I should do. Let them be or pull them now? What do you think? To see photos see my blog post.... |

| The best thing you could do for it is pants it in ground or a larger container. If you are going to leave as is I would cut off the pups at soil level so you don't disturb the roots |

| emmettb - Thank you. I would love to plant it in the ground but that is not an option. I do have room to pot it up. Liisa |

| A larger pot will help to get it to fruit.Good luck |
