How to Identify and Remove Sucker Growth

Monsoon season is in full swing and with that little bit of moisture in the air, the trees are really starting to push new growth. With that new growth comes something that is NOT good for your grafted fruit trees....Sucker growth! Today we're showing you how to identify and remove suckers before they take over your tree.

I must be a sucker... I keep coming back for every video!!! 😂

I’m grateful for this one. Although I’ve been growing citrus for years, it’s my first yr with mulberry & figs. Now I know I can either leave the suckers on my fig or use those cuttings for new ones.☺️Now I just need to learn how to root my fig cuttings.😆 I love the end blooper. You two are so fun & glad I found you, 😉👩‍🌾🍊🐍🌳🙋‍♀️

I had just taken out a giant 6' sucker out of the middle of my Hass Avocado on Saturday. It was very interesting I had never seen an avocado sucker before. The leaves were a lot different than the Hass leaves. Good call keeping those citrus trees clear at the base, my mother-in-law got a nasty rattlesnake bite in her orchard last summer.

Thank you so much!! I have several Fig trees and my Kadota has a ton of sucker growth from the ground. I was debating on cutting them. This was very helpful.

Watching it again! There were a few suckers on the kumquat, but the tangerine is loaded every spring. Gonna get an everbearing mulberry! While I like the Pakistan, even green berries drop like flies in the wind. The citrus suckers are trifolate orange. Figs do best for us if only 1 stem is allowed.

Very informative & just what I needed. Thank you 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I have a lot of grafted fig trees. I usually use Brown Turkey as my rootstock, and trim any suckers that may develop below the graft point. However, I know a lot of fig folks will graft multiple varieties onto different branches of the same fig tree in order to expand the number of varieties they can grow, and also to safe on space by not having to plant a tree of that variety. Of course, the risk in using rootstock is when you get a longer than usual freeze, and the variety you've grafted dies back down to the rootstock, and you have to re-graft. I live in Zone 10a, so it's not much of a problem in most locations here in SoCal.

Excellent another video. Lot to learn , When will you sell jujube seeds?This is session we learnt how to remove suckers

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Thanks! 🌞🏜️

I had a tonne of issues with these on the olive plantation. At some point it becomes too hard to manage, and we had the goats clean them up for us. Win win. Now, I will probably see this on the almonds, too. The "waste" material is great for the rabbits/goats/compost!

Howdy howdy from Tucson! I literally just got done doing this, 😁

[@lindawoody8501]

The vegetable seeds I planted 2 months ago just have sprouted as we have had nearly 14 days of rain off and on with some of that heavy. No problems at all with it and the veggies are very happy. Surprisingly I also have volunteer veggies coming up from 3 years ago former owner and from bird seed (my offering last Winter to the songbirds). Black Oil Sunflowers and some Dent type Corn probably. I am up in Mohave County, AZ.

Clear helpful content. Question: aside from aesthetics, why not chop & drop and leave your cuttings right there with the wood chips? What do you do with those suckers?
