I found this mugo pine stump in an area where I work periodically today. They had about five 30 or so year old mugos that were stunted over the years by rodents and such and decided to cut them down and replant new trees.
I don't know if it is at all possible for this one to live but thought I would put the question out there to someone with more experience.
The info I have:
- The trees were cut down late last fall after freeze up and have been frozen ever since
- They were cut when there was snow on the ground and were covered with snow all winter
- This is the only one that looks like it had been pulled out with some roots (very little)
My question...Is there any chance that this stump is viable still or is it better off as firewood?
The little foliage it has left seems healthy, not dry or brown. The trunk is around 8" across.
I can include better pics if needed.
