    I have successfully repotted 3 red leaf patio peach trees which I got in the middle of July instead of the end of May. I thank thone gardeners who advised to do it now and not to wait for autumn.
    Now my concerns are that 2 of the trees got green leaves shoots growing from the bottom of the trees. I am in doubts now if to keep them growing or remove them.
    I'll try to attach a picture.
    Any recommendations? Thank you in advance. 20170723_184223.jpg 20170723_184223.jpg

    Simply remove them. They are grafted....see the union.....so anything below this mark is the rootstock, not what you want Black Orchid. Rest easy :)
