Plum Tree Growing Back?
I had a plum tree in my front yard that I loved that was blown down
completely in a storm we had two months ago. I had a tree service remove it and they left just a small part of the stump in the hole that was created when the tree was blown over. I was planning on filling the hole and re-seeding grass over it until I decided if I would plant another plum tree there or not. In the meantime, however, a nice new growth of about 2 feet has grown from the plum tree stump. It seems to be growing at a fairly good pace. Since I liked this tree so much and am not sure I could find the same species at a local nursery (it was about 25 years old) I am wondering if I could grow a new plum tree from these "remnants" of my old plum tree. Any thoughts/advice on this? |

Any thoughts/advice on this? yes it should grow back, I had a willow tree that had blown over (huge tree) well we just put a large flower pot on the stump and sure'nuff it did start growing back a couple months later. the house has since been sold, the new growth is about 6 years now and the tree is about 35 feet tall..

Clark... Thanks. It's good to hear that this worked for someone else. Don't you have Google in your part of the world? Now why would I necessarily want to use Google to get an answer to my question when I can come to this newsgroup and get advice from people with experience such as yourself? That's the whole purpose of newsgroups like this one - - to share and seek advice from others on a specific topic. And what exactly would I Google? "Plum tree blown down will it grow back"? C'mon buddy, lighten up. Either provide the answer/advice or don't do so, but don't lecture people on using other resources when this newsgroup is an appropriate first resource for one's lawn and garden related questions. |

Any thoughts/advice on this? Many dwarf and semi-dwarf fruit trees are grafted onto rootstock from other species. It's possible the new growth you see is from that rootstock. |
