One day a small tree grew out of the stump..

Most people not aware that an old tree that dies... might not actually be dead for a long time. The root systems of old trees can carry on for a long time after the trunk fails...

Worth looking for in relation to old trees in the forest... with elders sustaining "communication" with younger plants through root networks, long after the above ground portion of the tree has died, and even rotted away, not leaving much evidence of what going on below...

Sadly, became relevant recently to the Pacific Northwest's granddaddy apple tree...

Vancouver’s Old Apple Tree dies at age 194

Oldest Apple Tree in the Pacific Northwest Lives On

Local nurseries over there were selling trees derived from it a while back, don't know if still are... but, also, the fruit from it wasn't all that much to get excited about... its mostly a novelty thing... although the longevity of it suggests it might be a good choice for breeding... as obviously well suited to the region, and long lived..
