Greetings,

First post here on the forum..

I have a number of fairly wild mesquite trees and I'm trying to figure out how to transform them from bushes to trees.

I watched a video on leaders and branches from a guy in Tucson so I think I've got that part figured out but... what my concern is now is at the bottom of some of the trees is a very bushy looking fairly new stand of green sprouts that are coming out of the ground.

How do I trim those back so they don't turn into a huge bush at the base of the tree?

Thanks so much for your help!

Just keep them trimmed all the way to ground level and the tree will eventually give up on them.
