G & g 3rd year anniversary prize!

I second that, they're like weeds, coming up everywhere  through the grass up the garden

I third this. I inherited one in a previous garden. Fed up with all the suckers, I dug them out. It fixed it all right, it killed the actual tree. I guess it's very shallow rooted, every root produces suckers, take out the suckers and the tree has got no roots left.

It's probably best as a specimen tree in a lawn, that way the mower takes care of all the shoots growing from the roots.
