Controlling And Removing Tree Suckers

6/17/2020

You may have seen that an odd branch has begun growing from the base of your tree. It might look much like the rest of the plant, but soon it becomes clear that this weird branch is nothing like the tree you planted. The leaves might look different, it might grow inferior fruit, or it might be a different type of tree all together. What is happening? You have tree suckers?  

What is a Tree Sucker?
Basically, a tree sucker is an effort by the tree to produce more branches, if the tree is under stress. However, you have taken ideal care of your tree and it wasn’t under any stress. Moreover, that does not tell why your tree has swamped varieties. Odds are your tree is really two trees grafted together.  

If the lower half of the tree is stressed out, it will attempt to reproduce itself. It accomplishes this by growing suckers from the lower stem or root. Tree suckers can grow on trees that aren’t grafted but are usually found on grafted ones.

Tree Sucker Control
It is better to try to stop a tree sucker instead of scheduling You may have seen that an odd branch has begun growing from the base of your tree. It might look much like the rest of the plant, but soon it becomes clear that this weird branch is nothing like the tree you planted. The leaves might look different, it might grow inferior fruit, or it might be a different type of tree all together. What is happening? You have tree suckers?  

Below are some ways to aid with tree control:

Keep plants in good health. The rootstock on a tree will begin to grow plant suckers when extra stresses, such as disease, pests. drought, or over-watering threaten the tree.

Don’t over prune. Too much pruning can encourage the growth of tree suckers. To stop a tree sucker, try not to slice into growth that is over a few years old. Prune regularly. Even when over pruning produces plant suckers, normal healthy pruning can aid with tree sucker control.

Removing Tree Suckers
Tree sucker removal is simple to do. Tree sucker removal is performed in the same manner pruning is done. Using a clean, sharp pair of pruning shears, neatly slice the tree sucker close to the tree, leaving the collar to aid speed up the wound recovery.

Use this tree sucker removal technique as soon as you see any tree suckers appear so that you put no more stress on your tree. You can always enlist the help of a Buffalo Stump Removal professional to remove the tree suckers.
