We have a Prunus Amanogowa tree which is showing growth out from the base. Do we cut these off or leave them please?


On plant Prunus

They look like suckers off the root stock to me, are they below the lumpy graft union?

if so they'll be stronger and compete with the tree above the graft

Wrench them off - they're off the rootstock, and you don't want that growing.
