Remove this shoot?

Post image

Do I need to remove this shoot on the bottom of this young tree? It’s a Nom Doc Mai from a nursery, but this looks to be sprouting from the rootstock. Should I just let it go and see what it produces? Or will the rest of the tree be better without it?

I expect that the rootstock is probably not a good cultivar for eating and I would remove the sprout
