I planted a peach tree on my front yard two years ago I have not paid much attention to it since them (yes I know it is all my fault ). Now I decided to prune it. I read a couple of brochures on it, and decided to do during long weekend. All of the sudden I have realised that I have two big branches running from the tree trunk below the graft union . At least it looks like that to me. I can be wrong so I would appreciate if you could take a look at the photos below. Those two branches are much bigger that the one running from the graft union. So I have two questions : 1. do I really have that problem - branches from the tree trunk below the graft union ? 2. if so, what do I do ? Just cut them off with a saw ? Thank you.

Definately take the middle one out and which ever of the two left over is the lowest. Also the branch that is growing off the root stock is usually very vigorous so the long sappy limb is the one to cut off.
