Q.On An Organ Pipe Cactus There Are Many Small Tiny Arms Coming Up. Should Any Of Them Be Trim Off?

There are multiple small limbs sometimes two and three coming off a larger limb mostly near the ground. We have a small yard and I would like to know if these could be trimmed without harming the cactus.

Organ pipe cactus should not need pruning so unnecessary cutting on the cactus will leave it vulnerable to insect or disease invasion. Here is more on its care:
