Hi All
I have a davidson plum doing really well, 5 yo. Not fruited.
There are suckers coming out at the base. For fruiting purposes, is it best to remove them or just lettem go crazy. Any advice greatly appreciated

'A'
are these basal shoots or suckers.
You are likely to have Davidsonia jerseyana which often forms a very bushy plant with basal shoots and other branches arising off the main trunk. I have found that trees left to grow like this produce more fruit but they are slightly smaller. I would just leave it, for cosmetic reasons I have suggested to people to prune it back to a single trunk. Most specimens do have a single trunk, it seems to be genetic if they are bushy or single stemmed.

they are basal shoots Kris.
Good to see you trawling around the web.
At least now I know how to get a response from you.
