Yes we are lucky - the fall was incredibly perfect we're going to leave the stump - about 3' high - in place - cottonwoods are very fast growing trees and we should have decent sized "sprouts" in about three years

yeah.... but they won't be strong at the base of the tree. the middle of the stump will rot out the multi-trucks will fall over... better to cut the stump. they will still sprout from the base & by the time they are grown up, they will be rooted into the rotted stump in the ground & won't fall over....
