Beaver007, They seem to be roaring back just fine,next question is how to cut them loose without destroying mine or the new plants. Note to bamboochick; per your previous post about selling plants, it was never my intention when I contacted the group for advice, between digging,cutting,packaging, taking them somewhere to be shipped, this won't be a money making exercise in the least I assure you. Didn't want to bend the rules or ruffle any feathers........The Donald

Beaver007, I cut off a few yesterday and its too late for those,but there are 1or 2 I just clipped that may come back and 1 larger one I was undecided on. I would be willing to let them go cheap,but lets wait a week or so to see how these come back. There may even be a way to send a photo on this site(maybe private message or to your email) for your approval before I send them. I'm in Northern Virginia so UPS shouldn't be that much. Question is how to package them. The Donald

Thanks for the reply bamboochick, always appreciate some experienced advice. I think I'll select the 2 best and scrap the rest. The location is at the coner of two intersecting rows of pampas grasses and hardy hibiscus,its sort of the focal point and the tallest of the plants. Thanks again

I too have a Hardy Chinese Banana tree (that after the leaves died off in the winter, I cut back and mounded W/mulch) that started the sping as a smelly bowl of soup. About 3 weeks ago shoots appeared around the base of the plant. Now I have 6 or 7 8'" stems-turning to leaves all around the old center. My question is ; should I select 1 stem to be the new plant and clip off the others? or do I let several or all continue to grow? this is the 1st spring I've had the plant so I have no prior experience with new groth habits. 2nd question; If the plant produces new shoots outside of the old center how do prevent it from "leaving" the area I planted it (if this pattern repeats year after year the plant will be several feet away from where it was planted). Any guidance would be apreciated. Thanks
