Conifer Trees

Question

I had a few huge and tall conifer trees chopped down last June. Only the trunks are left now. Will they grow again? And how long will that take? A lot of the bark from the tree trunk is peeling off and can see the inner layer, but I cannot see any green. Please advise what I should do to them. Thank you!

Answer 1

Unlike many deciduous trees and shrubs, most conifers will not resprout if cut all the way back to the base. Typically, pruning of conifers is only done as a last resort because of this and then it's only trimming for shape or to remove dead/diseased growth.
