Perhaps someone can post links to some photos of trees that have "regrown" since their trunk had been cut off at the base. I don't know why but I am just curious to know how it would turn out.  |
Redwoods are notorious for regenerating from stumps. I can't say this one here did, but there will be redwoods smaller than this, and as big, that sprouted from stumps, sometimes from a small tree getting broken off.
(And I like redwood pictures whenever available)
Now the other photo is a different ordeal from what you asked about, but it shows what a survivor a redwood can be. The second image is one that fell over, rooted at the top end as well, and had branches that either sprouted or grew up to become new trunks - growing on a trunk.
