    Lol, I figured I would get some skeptics.
    That little tree in post #5, was from a stump that I burned way way more of.
    Time will tell.

      We tend to get a lot of Spanish oaks coming up from what I would call root sprouts. The originator tree dies, and they come up around it. If your fire didn’t damage the root structure, what the hell....give it some time and see what happens.

        So, the stump burned for 3 nights. I hit it every night with my leaf blower to blow off the ash and get the stump burnig hot again. All the dead wood was burned away. Then I took my chainsaw and gnarled a bunch of the remaining char off the live section.
        Put a sack of potting soil in the hole. Filled the hole 3/4 up with deer manure. Then leveled it off with soured alfalfa hay and watered it good.

        Bwaaaaahahaha!!!
        8 days since the fire died and she is sprouting back

              I never doubted you. Anything is possible if you get no out of your heart. Here is what I call my Charlie Brown tree. It was a little taller than I said I cut it off at. But it's actually 10-12 foot tall now too.

                Oh man fulmer, I would be real tempted to drive a long t-post in the ground on the good side of that tree and tie it off up high. Then I would remove about half that dead wood with a chisel and hammer. Then I would set some red hot charcoal in that hole in the bottom, just a couple at a time. Burn that dead part down into the ground about 6 or 8 inches.
                Get that stuff out of the way so that new bark can come all the way around.
                But that is just me.
                Either way, it looks to be growing well.

                  Sorry but that stump don't look burnt to me, looks like a cut off stump that is sprouting back.
                  I don't see any potting soil, deer manure or alfalfa either

                  Post a pic like the one in the post where you started this of the same stump

                  I am still doubting but can be swayed with better evidence

                    Was that a paper shell pecan before it died and you cut it? If so... it ain't now..

                      Hmm..that last pic shows the tree already had put out a sprout that was cut off.

                        It was cut off at the ground, flush. Then I burned it all that I could, I put the fire on the dead wood and let it burn as much as it would into the live section.
                        Then I dug a little trench on the top side and washed it good to let the sunlight hit it.

                          Not sure, it was pretty well dead when we moved in, and didn't really put out any pecans. I'm pretty sure it was a native though. Thought about grafting it after it recovers some more.

                              Must be a Phoenix Oak


                              If it grows back I will be surprised
