Leave it alone for awhile until it restructures. Cutting to many shoots may inhibit any new growth. I had that happen with a smoke tree.It fell down and I thought it it was done. After waiting a season it grew back. Every now and then I cut the unwanted suckers.
Hi Robyn the same thing happened to our eucalyptus tree 2 years ago we didn’t try and regrow in tree format but cut it right back to a stump and let it do its own thing for a while and were amazed by the extent it grew back .It developed into bush like appearance!! Which we have maintained but not any our regrowth looked worthy or strong enough to try and regrow into a proper eucalyptus tree I do wonder if ur secondary re growth will be strong enough to sustain itself as a flourishing tree though?! I guess only time will tell! All the best.
This likely depends on if the roots were damaged, and the condition of the tree. I would put good rich soil around the base, and give it a good drink of water, and then all should be fine. Just give it time, for we are in the edge of winter, and trees, will rest usually, during this time. Tho, this week, there is rain in FL., right? Best wishes, J. Also, keep strong wood, around this to strengthen it, from strong winds, again. J.
Lucky you! Wish i lived in an area that could support such a wonderful tree!
I hope you did put new potting soil around it too, for about 4-5 inches, for this will make a huge difference. With rain coming into the FL area, don't water too much. Best wishes, and do keep in touch, to let us know how you come out in this matter, ok? J.
