Is it reasonable to assume that trimming leaves off encourage new growth
also?

I trim old leaves off my Barclaya to prevent some of the problems mentioned
above.  Trimming out old leaves means you see more of the colorful new
leaves.  It also means that the new leaves aren't "reaching" for light, so
their petioles don't extend.  If you don't trim the old leaves the petioles
on an overgrown plant can extend to at least 14" long.
