No, certainly not. It will be stronger than the grafted top you want
and eventually dominate the plant. Cut it off as near the trunk as
possible.


Sometimes, cutting away a sucker is not successful. A new shoot quickly
arises from the stub. If possible, pull the sucker out of the trunk or
root from which it sprouted.
