Branch growing below the graft

I have a Wild Cherry (bought in) that I planted during the winter of
2001/2002. It's about 6 feet tall now and doing really well. My problem is
that it has a branch growing from below the graft. Should I leave it or
should I cut it off? It's about 1 foot long and, like the rest of the tree,

Cut all branches growing below the graft off ASAP - as soon as you spot
them - so they don't get big. Cherry trees can have a tendancy to sucker
at the base which is a darn nusiance - I de-suckered the cherry tree I
look after yesterday - having only done it 2 weeks ago!!!
