i have a dwarf plum, santa rosa I think. It has a sucker branch off the main trunk that is now dominating. Ive trimmed it back to try balance. The whole tree had blooms and two small fruit on the sucker. I can take off the sucker, its 60% of the foliage now. Or let it stay. Tree is only a few years old, maybe 5 foot tall max. I dont want to take it off and go back to the smaller main trunk, but is that best long term?
I have pictures but it wont let me upload.

Yes, it is best to remove the suck growth. The keep after them and remove them as soon as they appear.
