Also, benign tumors generally have a slower growth rate than malignant tumors and the tumor cells are usually more differentiated (cells have normal features).Benign tumors are typically surrounded by an outer surface (fibrous sheath of connective tissue) or remain with the epithelium.lso, benign tumors generally have a slower growth rate than malignant tumors and the tumor cells are usually more differentiated (cells have normal features).
Instructions. Cut off any unwanted suckers or shoots that are growing from the root system using a sharp spade. Remove the sucker, then cut and gouge the remaining underground bud with the spade.If the internal bud is not killed, the sucker will regrow. Too many of these shoots can crowd plants and reduce productivity. Banana trees are somewhat sensitive to frost, which can cause roots to freeze. 2  Do not apply herbicide to tree roots of plants that you wish to retain, as the chemicals can seep into other parts of the banana.
Water frequently but avoid overwatering. Underwatering is a common cause of banana plant death, but overwatering can cause the roots to rot. 1  In warm growing weather without rain, you may need to water your plant daily, but only if the top 1.5â3 cm (0.5â1in.) of soil is dry. 2  Test with your finger before watering. If using a sucker, remove all but a few centimeters (1â2 inches) of the roots. 2  This will limit the chance of disease. 3  You can also remove any leaves in excess of five and/or cut the top of the plant off with a slanting cut to increase the amount of sunlight that warms the soil for root growth and rot prevention.
