My husband and I have noticed sucker shoots coming out from the base of our apple and crabapple trees. From the apple, the sucker is coming right from the stock, not the root. If we cut this off, is it possible to root it at all? And with the suckers from the crabapple, I think they ARE from the roots ... can these be used too? Any help appreciated!

If you try the succers that come straight upward from the branches it may be a possibility to grow some. I'm sorry I'm not much help. Quote \| Reply \| Report
