Did a pollard on a young (about 25-20 year old) cherry in the middle of last summer and still have not seen ay buds growing or leaf. Is it still too early to see signs of this? Im guessing it is as hazel and other broadleaf trees ive coppiced this winter have not started growing yet.

 

Is this cherry i topped going to grow?

Give it a bit more time. I've seen cherry send up sucker growth from a stump. It will probably come back but I doubt it will ever be a great specimen without a lot of time and gentler pruning in the future.

Unfortunately its Doomed.... Majority I see that have been Pruned hard die back rapidly, Pollarding personally I would not of done and I won't touch them with a barge pole let alone a saw due to them being Finicky.

Bird cherry (Prunus Padus) will sprout from a stump quite readily but as far as I know it's the only one of the cherry family to do this.
