Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: Lemon tree suckers, 1 by fullhauser

Hi there,

I\'m growing a lemon tree from seed and so far so good, plant looks healthy and good growth etc.

One thing I\'m unsure of, I\'ve got these shoots growing in between the branches and stem of the plant. I know on tomato plants these \'suckers\' should always be removed but no idea with this lemon plant. All I can find online is advice about shoots below graft lines etc which isn\'t relevant.

Any ideas? I\'m tempted to get rid of them!
Much appreciated
