From my previous blog post about the disaster in our backyard when our tree was destroyed due to high winds during a winter storm, I can say and this is 100% sure, that this tree actually will survive. It's not just a glimmer of hope, it's a sign of life. As I checked our backyard yesterday, I saw small branches sprouting out from the affected branch that was split from the main trunk.
I think in a couple of months, we can do the permanent fix to the broken branch once and for all.
