Suckering problems occur in such genera as Liquidambar, Malus (apple), Pyrus (pear), and Prunus ( cherry, plum, apricot), Crataegus (hawthorn), and others deciduous woody plants.
Suckers: Tree can also be grown from root suckers.
Grafting: Grafting is used to reduce the time to fruiting - which can take between 8-10 years from seed grown plants. It can be reduced to 4 years with Grafting.
- If any 'suckers' are sent from the trunk, leave these. They can help thicken your trunk, much like working muscles at a gym. The scar tissue heals over and improves girth.
2. Remove basal suckers to redirect energy to the parts of the tree that need growth.
3. Trim and wire the #1 main right branch and sub-branches.
4. Move aerial roots to the trunk and secure them with tape. Replant the aerials roots.
Pruning Remove suckers unless required for multiple trunk styles. Prune back to one or two leaves to shape unless otherwise required.
I have just one additional question for the time being, is there any possibility of leaving notoriously suckering trees in the ground for a few years for example by surrounding their root system at some distance with a thick wide ring of plastic ...
The olive is propagated in various ways, but cuttings or layers are generally preferred; the tree roots easily in favourable soil and throws up suckers from the stump when cut down.
These shoots often called suckers should removed as soon as they appear because they are from the rootstock and are not the same variety as the rest of the plant. Flowering Crabapples are also budded and are notorious for producing suckers.
It has oval, silvery leaves, large thorns, is known to sucker freely (a real nuisance in a manicured lawn!) and survive in spite of all the vagaries of prairie weather.
There are always new shoots (suckers) growing from the surface roots. This characteristic can bring the potential for some plants to be trained as mini bonsai, for it is possible to greatly reduce the leaf size.
The species suckers back from the base rather readily, especially in the summer, so it is easy to get a shoot to form from the side of the tree you want with little effort.
APHID (Homoptera) sap-suckers: piercing/sucking mouthparts
Description: Soft bodied, pear shaped, cornicles on rear, in clusters, can be different colors
Life Cycle: Incomplete - from eggs or live birth, winged forms when crowded population ...
Serissa quite often will send suckers up from the roots. These can quite easily be removed and replanted as I have done here. You can see how much more of the trunk has been exposed by removing the soil.
Whitefly: A small flying sap sucker that is of the aphid family and settles on indoor plants, sometimes in large numbers. The health of the plant can be severely compromised if not treated with an appropriate spray.

In the UK Ginkgo are generally available as trained bonsai, or garden trees, however they take readily from hardwood cuttings, and as a mature garden tree often produce suckers, which when removed with some root will take quickly.
Any (odd) number of trunks, which must be in a variety of sizes, all growing on the same roots. This may either be created from suckers (shoots arising naturally from the roots) or by cutting off a thick trunk at the base and using the new shoots ...
Raft:
Multi trunks coming from a horizontal-connecting base. In nature caused by a tree falling over or suckering from the original tree.
again; better to wire green wood; roots grow quickly; can reduce rootball down best in June or July; transplants best in summer; only produces flowers on ends of second-year growth, so a properly trimmed bonsai should never flower; keep suckers ...
The original tree, in the centre, has died and rotted away, leaving the suckers (trunks). The leaves reduce when defoliated. When they get old, they turn bright yellow and dark red.
