: Mr broome,i have seen revoluta
: bonsai
: from china,where plants with a trunk
: of only about 5" has several
: huge pups growing on it,can you
: please tell me from your experience
: how this is done,i have never seen
: such small plants with pups.

: There are two answers to that. One
: is that these are bonsai, and they
: are being grown real slow. The main
: stems are a lot older than the
: average 5 inch stem, so it gives the
: plant a lot more time to produce
: those offsets. If you counted how
: many offsets were produced by a
: regular 10 year old sago, and then
: on one of those bonsai plants that
: was also 10 years old, you would
: probably get about the same amount
: of offsets, more or less. Another
: way that is not common, but
: possible, is that you can knick
: leafbases and make them produce
: offsets, or side branches where you
: want them to be, at least once you
: have experimented enough to do it
: easily.
