How to trim a crab apple tree?

Question

I have a crab apple tree in my yard.

We have "suckers" growing around the bottom of the tree.

Should I get rid of them? If so how do I go about doing it.

Answer 1

by suckers you mean extra sprouts or limbs .. just take a pair of shears and trim the back .. it will not hurt the tree.. bust done in the winter months but you can do it any time of the year ..  it will not harm the tree.
