I moved a 10 year old plant outside in Central Florida in a fairly wet spot. Surprisingly it grew to about 20 feet then was blown over last year in a hurricane. It was not totally blown out of the ground so it was propped back up and continued to grow but not well. We cut it back about 10 feet hoping it would sprout. No luck after several weeks so we pulled it out and set it by the trash. Yesterday I noticed three sprouts near the top of the trunk!! I guess it wants to live. We pulled it into the sun and set it on rocky sandy soil. Now what?? Cut it back more? Plant the roots again? The root/base it heavy and solid.
