1 Comment To "Why is my apricot tree growing shoots out of the roots. I just cut 40 of them off. Am I doing something wrong or do all apricot trees"

The suckers are likely growing from the root stock and should be removed to avoid root stock take over.
Continue to cut them back as you see them grow back.
It is not unusual for a tree to produce more fruit one year, then have a year that you have less.
Review the links below to ensure your tree is happy and healthy.
