![]() One of my trees is 6', it's been in the ground now for approx 7 weeks.
It's growing real nice, and has 4 new tree growths starting in various areas around the base. The tree is nothing rare or anything like that. I'd like the main tree to keep growing like it is. But since it is fairly new I do not want to run the risk of harming it. Do we leave the 4 new ones to continue growing? Remove the 4? Other?

![]() Those "pups" are the next generation of plants. You ought to leave one or two. When you remove the pups, you damage some of the parent's roots, which if severe enough can stress the plant and result in fewer and smaller fruit. Don't remove them all at once, if you intend to remove them.
