Query on my Plum tree.

[Keith Pawley]

Hello all,
I planted a plum tree a couple of years ago and there seems to be two like Fuchsia trees growing from it's base they seem to have fused on.
Any advice would be great thanks.
Please see pictures.

What you see is a sucker growing up from the root stock of your grafted plum. Cut it off and cut off all sucker shoots that will grow in the future
