As I understand it, there are different schools of thought on pruning suckers. But what about the idea of pruning the bottom branches? I have a bottom branch that is very big and spreads out pretty far. It is pictured on the left, and I'm not sure if you can tell, but it basically originates at the base of the main stem. Because of its location, should I prune if off? Or should I leave it because of its size?
