Re: [GWL]: Usage and terminology
Nellie, et al:
I've heard "pups" used for lots of plants: agaves,
cordylines, phormiums, and various bulbs.
But (1) I'm not sure it's "technical" and (2) I've
never seen it in any reference to bananas.

'pup' used to describe sideshoots
on bromelliads? As in, 'after the Guzmania is
done blooming, look for pups around the base of the
mother plant'?</P>
