árboles/plantas jóvenes
I'd normally call these saplings if they were young trees. I'd never heard suckling, but it's quite clear from the context.
Chupones, in my Spanish garden, are suckers - the nasty straight shoots that grow up from the base of my roses and other shrubs (particularly if grafted) and have to be cut back from the base unless you want them to drain all the strength out of the main bush - hence the name. (DRAE 4. m. Vástago que brota en las ramas principales, en el tronco y aun en las raíces de los árboles y les chupa la savia y amengua el fruto).
