Below u see a stump on my property.  The power company came thru and cleared trees from under the power line last year.  The trees want to keep growing and there’s life still in the roots.

In order to concentrate the effort,  i select the strongest straightest shoot. The others are removed.  We will see how this works out.

My theory is better one fat healthy trunk than a bunch of little ones all dividing the strength of the tree.
