minis and trailers

I just bought a few noids..that I have no idea how to tell wether I should be removing sucker or letting them trail.How can you tell the difference between the 2 ..

This one of the mini's

That one doesn't look like a trailer.They normally form leaves along the stems.It's a beauty!!

That's a good question though I doubt most of the stores sell trailers and only sell standards most likely. But if you had a plant and weren't sure how would you tell? There are different kinds of trailers like ones that are semi trailing along with regular ones and to me they all look the same so I wouldn't have even a glimmer of how to tell.

here is a trailer for you to see, they have multiple heads even when there young, this is cherokee trail

Ummmm, Bonnie.....so do a lot of my Mini's! LOLOL! Also, I can't tell you how many times I've pinched suckers off a plant, only later to realize that that variety is a trailer! ^_^ Seniority...gotta love it! (or is it senility...?)

thanks guys..for the advice..on some I can tell, but others I'll just wait until the suckers get big enough to root ..
Mrs Bonnie..your plant is beautiful....You know I love those leaves..thanks for sharing

sonia117 - I agree with lbrabec - your first picture looks like a single crown plant.
