Default [IBC] Identifying Trees in the wild

Do you cut above the main root or include part of it?

Unless I'm totally off in my ID's, some of these are Beech, some are Willow
and some are Hawthorn (at least they have some wicked looking thorns on
them).

snip

You can treat a "sucker" (especially if there are a few roots)
like you would a cutting and often have some success. Trees that
sucker are, almost by definition, filled with the "will to live."

Unfortunately, trees that sucker also seem to be trees with
coarse branching and large internodes (except, perhaps, for
Prunus and Fagus).
