Who needs a shovel when you have one of these!

I need one of these!!

As trees age, they become more susceptible to suckers. These are small offshoots that look like thin branches at the base of the trunk. When taking care of trees, we like to remove all suckers so the tree can breathe and look its best.

To remove suckers, you want to cut as close to the base as possible while avoiding harming the trunk of the tree. To prevent regrowth, remove the nodes that send up more growth. A sharp pair of pruners or billhook saw work well at removing suckers.

Overall, suckers are fairly harmless but can make your tree look more like a shrub!
