	The suckers usually come only from where the trunk enters the ground and
need cutting off from time to time. Not all trees do it and it usually
seems to be the result of  poor conditions. Takes some time to  develop a
trunk a metre high. But it has everything!  Pinky young growths in Spring
scarlet flowers, double in some varieties, beautiful and fairly delicious
fruits (a bit like Grape Nuts) and yellow autumn foliage.Tough and trouble
free. A five star shrub/tree.
