Trees have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years and always seem to find a way to adapt and thrive in their environments. In the face of tragedy, they often stand strong, becoming symbols of resilience. Once a tree falls, the wood is harvested for lumber or firewood, and the stump is left to decay. It may take several years for regrowth. According to Evolution Tree Surgery, a company in the United Kingdom with a passion for trees, the time for a tree to regrow from a stump varies widely.
