Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?

    This tree is dead. The roots are too big since they were sized for the full crown and they will rot. Source: i like trees

      That hella depends on the kind of tree. Just had a 9 meter hazelnut tree in my back yard cut down to about one meter. Not a leaf left on the thing. Couple months later and it’s already back to two meters with a lot of leaves on it. it’s expected to be back to about 6 meters next year.

      Try that with e.g. an oak though and it’ll not go as well.

      Not exactly true. A couple of trees got chopped down in the park just in the other side of my fence. New trees starting sprouting all over my lawn from the root. I left a couple grow in and they’ve been growing at least a couple feet each year.
