Best time to plant suckers is before buds emerge in the spring or after the leaves have dropped from the shrub in fall. Find a sucker ideally 2 to 3 foot tall. With a spade dig down around the sucker. You’ll find a connecting root leading back to the main stem. Cut this root off just outside of the sucker’s root ball. Remove the sucker with as many roots as possible and plant it in a big pot with potting soil or directly in the ground. Water well.
