Hi
I have what I think is a Basjoo banana tree that has a small tree starting to grow off of the mother tree. How do I remove and have it live. I tried cutting the first pup off the mother but killed it in the process. Any help would be great. |

My first question I would ask is how long has it been since you noticed the pup(s). My suggestion to you is to let the pups grow until they are a least 1-2 ft tall because by this time they will have developed a good enough root system to grow on their own when you replant them. When it comes time to remove the pup use a spade shovel to dig up the pup. Draw a 12" circle around the pup so when you dig it up you with have a nice root ball with a most of the root system intact, and then transplant then where you desire. Best of Luck with the pups.
