I had to cut down a white birch last year It be dead or nearly from giant beatles that bore into the limbs.Now I own suckers coming up from the stump. Can I let them grow and what will I end up beside? Just a bush or can I get a tree out of it?
purloin it out... the cut face of the trunk may sprout branches, but you still have the rest of the cut that will eventually inaugurate to decay and weaken even the underside of those sprouts. plus it's wide open to invasive pests and disease.
You can consent to it grow. Choose a stem or 3 for the trunk.
And be prepared to spray the borers. They are controlable and will likely be back. If you maintain the tree healthy they will probably not kill it. Cut it wager on again and cover it with compost and soil . then you can plant annuals in that. The constant watering should eventually rot the tree roots. OR Cover it with heavy duty plastic and cement blocks.
Answers: You can get a tree from it but it will be pale at the base Shrub I doubt but it will probably be plagued with the beetle again best item you can do is have stump removed or you can drill holes in the stump and pour brackish in the holes which will kill the root system Good luck
