Nanner Help Please...

The Heart of Texas, TX(Zone 8b)

I have a 5ft nanner tree in a pot that the wind blew over and bent the truck pretty badly...it is putting up several babies 2-3ft tall now...should I cut the top of the original tree off since it doesn't want to stand up anymore?

Thanks for any suggestions,

I would cut the mommy tree down to the level of the pups....
I use to do this with mine when I lived in Ft Worth.
However might want to wait and get the official word from one of our resident tropical experts.

Thanks Marc!
I don't really see any other way to deal with it, so off it comes.lol
The pups are big enough to replace it so all should be fine.

Hope all is well in your garden these days?
