Hi Susanne
I think you get answer if you look at my link for you.

Here is a link that might be useful: banana pup

Thanks, that's a great link, but I know how to separate the pups from the mother plant. I am just asking if banana plants can propagate before they themselves have fruited.

Yes They can pup at anytime the corm has enough energy. I purchased a TC Cali gold and it put off a pup when it was 2' tall. For maximum production generally limit each mat to 3 plants of different sizes. I would get rid of 2 pups and not let a third grow till it gets close to fruiting height.

Awesome! Thank you!
