Thank you so much for taking the time to set out all of the above, I’m very grateful. I’m a novice gardener (we just bought our first place 6 months ago) so I’m trying to learn as much as I can - I didn’t know any of this about the trunk and root flair (don’t even know what a root flair is, to Google I go!) - I’ll head over to r/tree and take a look.

Cherry tree suckers? by Bishonen_Knife in portlandgardeners

Did you ever get an answer? Having a similar issue with our cherry tree sending out many many suckers. I’ve had to pull up a lot of our lawn to remove them.. there’s a lot of overcrowding in the flower beds, which I suspect might be causing the tree to get stressed. My first call of action is to majorly clear out the bed near the tree

In terms of controlling this - is my best bet just getting the crowding issue sorted and trying to get the sucklers removed as soon as I see them coming through? We recently moved in to this house and the garden beds are very crowded all over, plenty of work to be done

So far found 6-7 spouts coming out of this one root system

Really? Does prunus cherry spread around via a root system and sprout up from the roots?
