Its a risk; more often than not, they shoot from the base again, but sometimes they just give up.

thank u 4 ur help will try any way and hope 4 the best mine has grown above the house and now has spilt in 2

why not cut it right back in the middle wear the growing tip is but leave it some way of still getting sun . i think this will give you a better chance of getting new ones at the bottom. just cut the growing tip out if you have a tall ladder . this mite make the top divide into more.if so cut the top right of .
