I start removing those little stump "off-shoots" as soon as they appear. I really don't remove too many other leaves from around the stump till later. They will eventually brown and die of old age, that's when I remove them.

Are you talking about the secondary shoots? If so how do you terminate them>

What I call secondaries, come off of the main vine. I'm talking about the weak little vines that grow from the stump, I whack them off with a knife! Occasionally I'l let one or two grow to provide replacement leaves for the stump area.
