In early October I cut off a branch on Tropical Sunset that was coming up out of the ground to mail to a friend. This mess has grown out of what was left of that branch. Will any of these develop into normal branches? Should I remove them all?

This poor Brug has suffered all kinds of indignities. Last summer, I place this potted Brug directly on the ground and Bermuda grass grew up the drain holes. Before I put it back into the greenhouse last winter, I had to remove all the soil in order to remove all the grass roots. Then the grasshoppers ate most of her and now this. Poor baby!
