I collected a tree which was one of a few that had been chopped to clear an area.
A few weeks ago it started sprouting shoots so I was happy it was still alive
I pinched them all back except for the 2 highest ones but they are still quite low down on the trunk.
Is there any way to tell how much of the stump is dead/dried out???

ps. Sorry about the pictures, whatever I do they turn out sideways...

only time will tell..

just let it recover and grow and don't pinch too much now since that can create a downfall in new shoots or growth stop in worst case..

always let a collected tree recover (for at least) the first year since the tree will need time to recover and regrow a new healthy rootball..

Agreed with Dominion: I've collected plenty of trees over the years. Just let it grow. Don't worry about pinching, pruning, wiring, styling - it's already stressed from transplant. Give it time to recover & work on it next year. Don't worry about all that crazy growth; let it for now.

Be patient & you got this.

And for picture problems, we just worked a thread a week or so back. Give it a view

Thanks guys, I'll leave it alone

For future reference, how do you know where to cut or "clean up" the dead material?
For example, if you have a new leader growing, but it's like 5cm below the original chop. Is there a safe way of knowing where is still alive without cutting too much off and killing the new leader too?

Trim it up next year. By that time, the tree will have decided where to stop growing. You should be able to notice a pronounced difference in the bark texture & color. If your new leader is well below that point, feel free to prune it nearer, but again, wait until next year when that new growth is stronger. Having the growth near that point will also help in callous growth around the scar. This time of the season, it might be a little too much for the newly potted tree to handle.

Just wait. The living material will continue to grow, the dead parts won't. Eventually you'll see the difference.
