We're loaded with oaks of various kinds, and we're clearing out some of the agonal ones. Several have new healthy shoots out of the existing roots, and here's my question. Will that shoot be healthy, or should I just cut it down too and plant a new tree? Either way, we probably won't live long enough to see them at their full size. The last tree I cut down was right at 60 yo.

Thanks, Al


One of our larger dead oaks that my neighbor's cutting down.
