To sucker or not to sucker
I just planted this wisteria this year, it was just a two foot twig when I planted it in May, with two other shoots individual of the main stem about 3 inches each. I want it to grow up along the wall and across the roof of my shed.
My question is: should I sucker all those lower branches off those shorter stems (that have now grown to be tall, but have the branches low down toward the ground)? Or is it best to wait until it's dormant and I'm pruning it to cut those off? I want it to have a tree-like trunk eventually, not a whole wall of foliage. Thanks!
