We're finally getting around to this pile of Bradford pear we cut after Hurricane Helene last September. As I was moving logs to the splitter to be processed, I found this log buried under the pile. It had put out about 6 shoots with green leaves...no wonder it hard to un-alive...
Some trees are harder to kill than others for sure. Always amazes me how resilient nature can be at times.
Natures will to survive. Years back my brother did a tree job cutting some willow (we had no idea at the time it was lousy firewood as dad would burn anything) and once processed it was putting out shoots while in the stack. I've seen it on red oak too.
