Plum Tree Growing Back? Greg 07-30-2008

 I had a plum (Prunus L.) 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 (Prunus L.) 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?

yes it should grow back, I had a willow (Salix L.) 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..

Thanks. It's good to hear that this worked for someone else.

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.
