I have a large plant of a Rollinia species, probably sylvatica, grafted onto Annona montana.  When the scion is fully leaved out in the late spring or early summer, I cut down the vigorous rootstock suckers, then allow new suckers to re-grow, so that there are many healthy large leaves of the rootstock to keep the tropical roots fed over the winter months, when the temperate zone scion is bare.

Interesting stratagem ... I suppose not all suckers are bad.

Thanks for sharing!
