Can a tree stump grow back into a full tree?
In: Earth Science
I don’t see why not if the conditions are right. We cut trees all the time on our property. If they were healthy, they always sprout new branches from the trunk (at least the deciduous ones come to think of it). Most of the time we cut those back or even use a herbicide if we have to, but obviously we didn’t want a tree there. If you cut a tree and just left the stump it would pretty much grow back if you give it time. Keep in mind, the open wound is a good place for pests and disease to get in, the new structure will never be as sound as the old and it won’t look as nice as the one the stump came from.
