Living stump

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A living stump is created when a live tree is cut and its stump remains in the ground. The stump and root system may remain alive for several years if its roots graft to nearby living trees. A living stump capable of producing sprouts or cuttings is known as a stool, and is used in the coppicing method of woodland management.
