I have two fruit trees about 3-4 years old. The apricot (Blenheim) is doing
fine, but the plum (Santa Rosa) keeps making suckers from the base. I
removed these and it looked like the tree was leafing out the same as the
apricot, but now more suckers from the base.

Is there a reason that only one of these keeps making suckers?
The graft is having trouble establishing itself on the root stock.
Carefully dig down to where sucker attaches to the root, and tear the
sucker off. You may need a pair of pliers.
