Should I prune new growth from bottom of a tree?
+1
I have a young tree that was given to me now sprouting new growth from bottom. Should I remove these & discard or are they possibly new little trees?!

Yes cut them off as they take all the nourishment out of the tree.

Yes. These are suckers that trees sprout. As Janet says, they rob the tree of nourishment. Also keep in mind, any small branches that grow straight up from any of the main branches are also suckers and should be cut off.
