Ok... This has been asked before... but every year I try someting new anyway. Any new input anyone have on suckers? Are they good or bad? Do they help rejuvenate the stump (yes I know thats not grammatically correct...lol). Isn't it worth carefully using them to fill in for the old worn out leaves? Does that hurt doing that? How long do you let them grow? Do you let them grow everywhere after September? Any thoughts on this this season from those of you who use them like I do? I'm not talking about lollypops either all you smart a**es...LOL! Just wondering what some of you think about this. I can say... around weigh off... you let all of them grow for cloning material...(Everyone knew I'd say that) !

Nobody will touch this question this time of year I guess... lol! The answer must be leave them all alone, along with sucker pumpkins, and ignore your plants for the remainder of the season...

I don't know the answer Marc, But I think a person should let them grow, There is no way a plant 6-700 sq. ft. can push everything to the fruit, So if the plant can have else where to push energy, I think it's a good thing.
