    I would try to remove the sucker. The tree should be able to handle it and you will see an improvement in production from the main trunk once the sucker is removed.

    I'm sorry to tell you, but you may have a dead tree. If you saved your receipt, you can probably get a replacement.

    It sounds like the rootstock on the graft is trying to grow, but this happens from below the graft line. The graft line is normally near the soil but sometimes trees are grafted near where the canopy is. Look on the trunk for a scar that goes all the way around. This is the graft line. You want to remove any branches that grow below the graft line as these are from the rootstock and will not help the tree.

    If you are not able to find the graft line, removing the branches with the slender leaves will not hurt the plant.

    You may have a plant from the rootstock. If so, you won't have what you were supposed to have. You might get some type fruit, but it won't be what you wanted.

    This could be lack of pollination, pests or nutrient issues.

    Soil testing is crucial to determine what combination of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium are out of balance.
