agree  John Speese: Yes, I would agree, and whether you'd use the term suckers, shoots, bulblets or whatever depends on the plant species. The point is to remove vegetative reproductive parts so that the main plant will grow stronger, for propagation, depending on the crop.

to remove (the) offshoots from


Explanation:
some plants produce suckers, others produce offshoots - e.g. strawberries have offshoots, producing new plants which do not feed off the mother plant, but roses produce suckers which do weaken the strength of the mother plant... So it depends on the type of plant


Graham Jarvis asks...

I have a yucca filamentosa that has recently flowered. It now has several off shoots and a bare stem that previously flowered. Can I remove the offshoots to plant and should I cut off the old stem. Thank you for your assistance.
Bill replies...

You need to cut the flower stems back to base level Graham and you can either leave the offshoots (as these will produce flower stems next year) or if there are a number of offshoots you can remove one or two of these using a sharp spade ensuring that you get some roots with offshoots and these can then be planted in your garden. They do need to be planted in a well drained soil/sunny position.

I live in tropical North Australia, and have a bit of experience with
'reluctant bananas!'

It's quite probably your banana is a dwarf banana (I have a few nice
dwarf trees, which fruit well) but whatever the variety, you ought to
be able to get some fruit off it, if your climate is warm enough.

The offshoots you refer to are technically called "suckers." You can
easily divide your plants by digging up a sucker, severing it from the
parent plant, and replanting it elsewhere in your garden. As you have
lots of suckers, I suggest replanting one or two (the biggest and
healthiest-looking) and removing the rest. Your parent plant is
expending its energy growing suckers instead of fruiting. As any new
suckers appear, cut them off. This may encourage your parent to
produce fruit.
