Description
A Banana Sucker | 1 Dozen is a plant growth that develops from the rootstock of a plant that has undergone grafting.
- A Banana Sucker grows from the base of the root of the plant at a certain distance away from the plant.
- This undesirable part of the plant should be removed to prevent it from sucking away the plant’s energy.
- Rooted suckers can be dug up and planted elsewhere.

- Maturity generally ranges from 15 to 24 months.
