Re: Tree peonies revisited

Hi Kitty,
An expert I ain't.  My tree peonie (it's second year) has suckered around
the original "trunk".  The suckers look like just regular peonies, the trunk
portion has some leaves and a couple of buds that are about 3 times the size
of regular peonies, and are sorta pointed.  Should I remove the suckers,
leave them alone or what?  As you might have guessed, I'm somewhat of a
novice here.  Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
