We moved in a year ago and I trimmed back the plum tree a third (max. they say to do) but it is still unmanageable. I need advice for this years trimming. Can I top it so it won't be so high or should I just worry about thinning it out? Any suggestions?

Also, it appears to be suckering a lot. Is the norm? Any ideas for low maintenance under it? I was going to remove the grass but now I realize it is suckering I am not sure this is a wise idea.
