Hello folks,
I recently ordered something from banana-tree.com and planted it into my pot a couple of weeks ago. I am using Miracle-Gro standard (all-purpose) potting mix (compost, peat, and pertitle) and added 20% pertitle to mix. Two weeks ago, I was surprised to notice that new pup came out of the bottom of trunk like coming out of egg shell. I thought that new pups should come out of soil by base. Is that normal? I had never seen it like that before. Does anyone know why? Thanks! Tim |

It can do both. It just means your corm is still quite viable and in the long run, I have found this to be a wonderful surprise. The banana's directly from the corm give you a larger banana plant much quicker as well as pups so rejoice!
