Questions about this tulip poplar that I just transplanted.

[carg618]

Just transplanted tulip poplar. Are these shoots suckers? And will the tree grow normal? What should I trim off? And how often should I give water. I live in connecticut

It looks like tulip poplar may have been cut down with a lawn mower and those are indeed suckers.

I'd select the largest one to the left in your first photo.

Multi stem tulip poplars develop included bark which is not a good thing so I'd go for a single stem.

Yours ought to do fine.
