Q.Hi my Pretty Woman tree lilies are 2 years old. They only have one stem coming up approximately 4 ft high. If I dig up bulbs in
fall will I be able to divide bulbs or do I have to wait till I see a second stem coming up from ground? thank you Hi do I have to wait till I see a separate stem coming up from tree lily bulb before i dig up to propagate?

You can't divide the main bulb. There may be some young bulbils around the main bulb but it doesn't sound like there are any mature bulbs or they would have sent up stems.
I would wait another year at least and see if you get more stems.
