I have a Madagascar Palm which, judging by the number of
leaves it has, seems very happy. It has grown about 3
smaller versions of itself around the base (attached to
the main trunk) which look similarly happy. Should I
remove these so that the main tree can use its energy to
get bigger, or just leave them? If I remove them, what
is the best way to do it?

Wear extremely thick industrial gloves, I dropped my Madagascar Palm
once and the thorns penetrated a thick pair of leather shoes. Ouch!
