Our Salix seems to have an intruder!
 

Hi folks,

We planted a Salix back in winter and it has been growing and doing
really well. We recently noticed a shoot growing out of the trunk near
to the base, it is now a branch and growing rapidly, problem is that
the leaves on this particular branch are totally different to the
leaves on the Salix???

Any ideas on the why's and wherefore's anyone and what should we do
about it?

Thanks in advance

Gail

Suspect it is growing from the rootstock, i.e. a sucker, so pull it gently
downwards and off as otherwise the stronger rootstock will take over
