Stump Sprouting: Species and Age Determine Regrowth

General Rules

• Hardwoods (oak, maple, poplar) → sprout vigorously from roots/stump.
• Conifers (pine, spruce, fir) → rarely sprout.
• Young trees → more sprouts.
• Dead tree when cut → no sprouts (roots dead).

Management

Select one dominant sprout; remove others. Resulting tree grows fast on established root system.
