g'day andrew,

dunno mate but my interpretation would generally be, that any growth
that comes from ground or above ground is a shoot, and in the case of
a grafted tree if the shoot where below the graft it is an unwanted
shoot, sucker growth to me is what occurs from the root ball or roots
as in some plants when you disturb the roots you get sucker growths,
or eg.,. in bananas the new growth are suckers they grow from the root
ball, now of course that may not hold true for all plants.

just how i see it.

let us know the outcome if there is a difinitive answer.
