Suckers – Controlling with Chemicals
Q: I received a gingko tree for a gift but it has lots of suckers (small twigs) at the base. When is the best time to remove them?
A: Many trees produce suckers copiously. Crapemyrtle, crabapple, ornamental cherry and maple trees are famous for making a thicket of sprouts at their base.
Until now, the best advice was to simply prune off the twigs whenever they became objectionable. Ethepon (click for sources)
