This sounds like a branch growing from below the graft union. This is a totally different Salix that has better capacity for root growth with a graft of the Salix of your choice at the top.

Keeping these cut away will reduce the toll that they will take on the rest of your tree. Eventually, they will stop. This issue is best prevented, however.
