@kellieleighcarey You need to remove the sprouting growth from the graft stock. The graft stock is the strongest, if sprouts are left on, they will outgrow the fruiting tree. Remove them against the graft stock so they will not resprout. I put my foot against the trunk and snap them out clean against the trunk. @brightcolours
@kellieleighcarey Pruning the tree of crossing branches allows light into the tree and keeps the tree a manageable size and shape to access fruit. @brightcolours

This tree sprouts off of the stump low down and was apparently 'grafted as well a the other one I own... do I need to cut the canopy off each year?

Kellie can you see any growth below the graft or is all the growth above the graft? @Annettenoosa @kellieleighcarey
Sorry @brightcolours uh I have no idea I will grab a photo tomorrow for you :)
