Hie all my Deanna fig i planted in a self watering barrel has since woke from its slumber (its spring here in Australia) and has since put out multiple branches about 5 and there are still many buds turning green and opening up.

This morning when i was removing some weeds i noticed a sucker beginning to emerge. Do i just leave it there permanently or should i wait for it to become a certain size before separating it from the mother plant and then planting it in its own spot? What do you think?  I forgot to take a photo of the sucker but i have the photo of the update. Barrel is on Left. The one on the right contains my European sugar-plum.

When i planted it 21/08/16

I slice a plastic pot so that I can get it around the sucker,
fill the post with soil, and then when its rooted and ready, cut it off.

personally i would wait till it gets healthy roots ,i would let it grow a while yet then pot it up

Thank you all for your advice. I'll do that and that will be my 5th fig plant :)
