My carmine jewel has been sending up suckers, but they are 8-15 feet from the 
parent tree, not near the base.

I assume you mean suckers coming up at some distance from the bush.  I have 
lots of those coming up
in my yard from my Carmine Jewels.  Pretty annoying really.  I'm going to 
have to go out soon and
mow the cherries...

I would think that these are clones of the original plant so just dig it up 
and transplant it, I
would think.
