This and that article about the 16 year old that got arrested for cutting down a historic tree makes me wonder if there's a way to uncut down a tree. Like using grafting and some kind of tree steroid

I mean, for most healthy trees, if you don't put an herbicide on the stump, they'll sprout new growth from the cut.

That depends on the species….

Doesn't happen with coniferous species.

Our neighbors cut down all the trees on their side of the property line, but its been about 2 years now and we've got our privacy back because all the stumps sprouted.
