My kaffir lime often develops small shoots above the graft union - I just
trim them off because I don't really want branches that far down the tree.
Just leave them if having lower branches doesn't bother you.

I have recently planted a Tahitian lime tree which is doing pretty well.
It
is around 1.5 Meters tall and I have been removing any flowers to aid in
getting the tree estabilished.
In the last few weeks I have noticed 2 small shoots coming out on the
trunk
about 5 cm's above the graft union. Should I be removing this growth or is
it OK to leave?

Thanks in advance.
