the value of propagating suckers is overlooked. From rootstock? Sweet, now you can clone more rootstock and graft cuttings to it.

The fig, it's an ungrafted fig, but it always has maybe 20-30 suckers at the end of each season lol. Wish I knew the variety, would take cuttings and sell lol. But my normal fruit trees, it's my multi-grafted citrus that seems to be hurt the most by the suckers. This is bad because multi-grafted citrus is the hardest to get going, hard to balance the tree.

I have a dwarf nectarine l planted last year and looked like the little tree was on it's way out after months of close watch and care . Sure enought the 3 branches forming the body , were completely dry and dead but had some very vigorous long branches coming from the very bottom ... suckers . I selected the strongest one , pruned and cut very low the rest . My question is ; will this sucker develop into a fruiting tree or l should get rid of it all ?

My sucker/ sapling problems are bigger than your examples. I have self seeded suckers/saplings of unknown species brought in by birds probably. Tenants didn’t look after my yard over a few years and let everything just grow wild and the strange new trees are growing in clumps of 12/15 new suckers/ saplings in a bunch are quite large now and I dont know how exactly to remove them. Is there a tree puller tool? To get the roots and all out of the ground. I also have an 80 year old olive with many many suckers coming out of the ground next to the old tree stump. I’m wondering if I should cut down the old tree, which is gnarled and misshapen, and let only one of the many new suckers, grow to adulthood as the new tree. Strong and straight?

I have a mature ornamental cherry of some type that was here when we moved in 17 years ago that sends up suckers both near the trunk and several feet away. I can easily be tripped by them! I will have to hire someone to help me to remove them.

My Li Jujube was a sucker, so any suckers it produces are also Li Jujubes. I transplant them and give them to friends and family. Doesn't really affect the harvest as far as I can tell.
@TheBusyGardener2 жыл бұрын
Most Li jujubes are grafted onto other routes stock. So if you had a true sucker, it wouldn't be a Li. Tell me more about this
@TheRosswise2 жыл бұрын
@@TheBusyGardener Where it came from was part of the trials decades ago when they were making a big push to bring jujubes over. The nursery has been there for over 100 years. Back then all jujubes were suckers. That is what the old guy told me anyway. All I know is that my tree was for sure a sucker, and the suckers are the same as my tree.

@TheBusyGardener2 жыл бұрын
Ah yes... suckers from the root system of a tree you've removed. The gift that keeps on giving! So, you will need to A) remove as much of the root structure as you can (grind it, dig it, whatever), and/or B) poison the tree with a tree killer that will hopefully make its way down into the root structure. Something like this: amzn.to/3zuVHFj
@julieblackwell69592 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the advice! I tried to dig them out but my shovel got scared and took off! Some of the roots under these tiny trees were 4” across! My neighbor had the same issue but took a chainsaw to it and got it out. My chainsaw is a bit too small for the job, could probably be useful cutting toenails but not for a trunk 2 feet across! I will try the chemical and patiently wait for it to die. Thanks again, keep up the good work!

How do i know if my lemon tree was air layered or grafted?
@TheBusyGardener4 ай бұрын
Ooh, great question! The main indicator is whether or not you see a graft union where there is an obviously graft near the base of the tree or not. This would be above the soil level, usually within the first foot or so (often within 6-8inches).
