The growth on the bottom of your satsuma tree is below the graft line and unfortunately is not satsuma growth but that of the rootstock. Cut those babies off of there they will only hinder the tree. Hopefully you get some growth above the graft line but if not im affraid the tree is toast. It just happened to me with a grafted Mexican seedless lime. The rootstock tried to grow back but the lime tree was dead.
