Your early teaching is right. However I suspect the shoots are somewhat weak
and leggy - if so remove them.

Thanks for the help, and to everyone else who replied.
I checked out a book "Royal Horticultural society A-Z of Garden plants" I
had, and a sucker was defined as (not exact words, but close as I don't have
the book in front of me:
A adventious (sp?) shoot coming from below soil level, usually from the
roots
and/or
Shoot coming from grafted stock, below the graft.

This and replies here helped end the discussion I had with the other person,
they now stand corrected.
Thanks everyone
