Hey everyone! I've been wondering about suckers—those extra shoots that pop up on plants. What do you think? Do you keep them for growth, or do you usually pinch them off?

When talking about suckers, it's important to clarify what they really are. A sucker isn’t just any branch; it’s more about those unwanted shoots that are growing in the wrong way. If you leave them, they technically stop being suckers and just become regular branches, which isn’t what you want. So, I typically trim them off!
So, just to clarify, do you actually keep any suckers then?
