Update, photos taken yesterday:

I drilled out the two suckers, after which another immediately appeared:

Left Little Prince was sprayed multiple times with 10 ppm Thidizuron (TDZ):

Compare with same plant, lower left, on 2/22/17:

Growth seems to have improved slightly with TDZ treatment.
Similar treatment seemed to suppress sucker growth on a larger Little Prince:

But, did not improve growth of mother plant.

So, starting yesterday, I will spray the GA treated Truly Tiny with 10 ppm TDZ, hopefully to suppress sucker growth.
