What about the growth on the rootstock? Leave on or pinch off?

Sorry for the basic questions!



I've only been doing this a few years, but last year on the list someone (it 
may have been Lucky) wrote to rub off all sprouts below the graft, maybe 
leaving part of one to be a replacement stem in case the graft refuses to 
take.  When I went out and did that to my slow takes, the scions promptly 
started growing (except a few that were dead).
