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?

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..

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.

 Um, Greg, that is just my Signature, chill out buddy.. Deep cleansing
breaths.....
