Beaucarnea Propagation/Offshoots

[BronxFatty]

Subject: Propagation of Beaucarnea (recuvata, stricta, etc.) from offshoots:

Question: Will rooted offshoots, side branches, or sprouts w/leaves, that were cut off and taken from either the side growths coming off the main stem, or from the top of base/caudex, over time, produce a typical caudex or a ball-shaped base, or.... will the future growth just produce a thickened, tapered mainstem?

Just asking.
