Especially if it was unintentional!!

It was dying after being felled by lightning. Then that little tree grew looking just like the big one. Then the little tree died. Then branches started sprouting from the stump of the original tree. Now it looks like a young tree again growing from an old stump. Who's to say that plants don't look out for their own.... Mom Hey Nate,
