Will it survive? (Cobnut tree)

Question

Was hurrying in with my new DR Brush mower because it started raining. Saw a small patch of grass that I'd missed before and since it was on the way back to shelter, thought I'd just chop it down. Unfortunately, being in top gear, the mower didn't stop in time and I "power coppiced" my only cobnut tree:

Do you think it might survive as a coppice stool? Wrong time of year to do it, I know, and it wasn't big to begin with (but had produced a small crop of nuts this year)

Well, just over 2 years later it's up to about 8 foot and covered in nuts. Wish some of my other trees were as resilient. Think my Chinese dogwood has succumbed to the drought and I've lost quite a few beech. The almond and medlar are cropping heavily, though, and think it will be a bumper year for apples. Soft fruit is so plentiful we've left the cage open so the birds can help themselves
