Young plum shoots were extraordinary vitality, speed of propagation and growth. To destroy them is possible only for a time. In another month they grow back with even greater force. The absolute most plum trees are endowed with this ability to distribute the young shoots on the entire surrounding area. But under certain conditions the growth of the little cream aktiviziruyutsya. This is facilitated by the following factors.
If you dug the soil under plum and accidentally damaged the root, wait for the "epidemic" growth. Even slightly damaged the root of the plum tree immediately produces many shoots. Therefore, the soil under the plum dig desirable. It is best to mulch it with wood bark or pine needles.
Procedure for crown pruning a plum tree is also the reason for the beginning of the formation of the abundant shoots. The harder you crop, the more young shoots from the root forms a tree. Here comes into force the law of self-preservation. Pruning of plums should be done very carefully, removing only the dried, diseased and damaged branches. By the way, if the tree or part of it for some reason dried up, this will also lead to the formation of new shoots.
The easiest mechanical. The young shoots in spring or early summer can be cut with shears, to cut out or cut down with a hatchet. But the suppression of growth is not over but just beginning. Since each damaged young shoot will awaken in the root system of several active points of growth that will give new growth. It turns out, the more cream to cut the young, the more they produced. Therefore, to cut down and cut the shoots need to correct.
First, we need carefully to excavate the ground and get to the root, which is "generated" growth. Then gently, as close to the root, sharp shears you need to remove the escape, trying not to leave a stump. The cut paper over oil paint or garden pitch and again cover with soil. And so each young plum.
If overgrown too much, the mechanical removing method is not suitable. You will have to use chemicals. This is especially true when is cut the old drain, and the shoots formed around her. Helps even the uprooting of the stump, because the young shoots will grow from the remnants of roots. In this case, you can resort to products used for weed control ("Tarzan", "Rancor" and others). But in the soil treated with these drugs, it is impossible for two years to grow garden plants. Therefore, the safest means of chemical – herbicide "roundup". They can be treated shoots in the fall. The drug burns only the green part of plants and decomposes in the soil into harmless compounds. Six months later, in the spring, the plot can be use for planting.
Damage to the root

Pruning of the crown
