Wisteria has growth from main stem, what do I do?
I bought this Wisteria in 2020, it was a 6 year old when I got it.
I hasn't flowered yet but I don't expect flowers yet.
Recently one of the branches got damaged in the wind and snapped off. I've added a photo.
Since then, I now have this new growth from the main stem, at the bottom but not under the ground or near the roots.
What do I need to do with it please?
Some say to leave it and others say to cut it off....

We have 2 mature wisterias with thick trunks then stems trained horizontally higher up. We alway get new shoots forming on the trunks and simply remove them before they get too big.
