I received a duncan from a friend that has two healthy heads on it, but also has two heads that appear to be just skeleton (the heads are all in a straight line...is there a wall type duncan? I am only familiar with the branching types). I am wondering if the duncan will ever grow back into the skeletal heads, or will they always remain dead, and should I cut that portion?



This image is a little odd looking, as I just fed the duncan...looks like it wants more!

I have a rather large duncan(somewhere around 100 heads), the heads that dye off, just remain dead, as it grows new heads.

I've never cut mine, just let it be, but with that small of a piece, you may want to cut the dead heads off.
