They sucker very little, but they do throw canes from the base of the main crown. Therefore, cutting the main plant to the ground induces the crown to send up many canes. This is very true of black currants, so I cut all new plants back to two buds when I initally plant them so that I will get a much thicker (more canes) bush.
