tree shoots


Question
I cut down a autumn blaze maple that had been damaged by bad weather. We cut it at ground level and it is now putting out new shoots.  Should I leave the new shoots. Will I get a healthy tree from the root growth.

Thanks Gary

Answer
If you want a new tree in this area Yes the new sprout will make a tree over time. They are from the original root system of the parent tree and should grow fast. There will be several sprouts I would let them grow and pick the tallest ones to keep. The others can be cut later.
