Is There A Way To Restart Growth From The Center Stem Of A Podocarpus Maki That Has Been Broken Off?

Question

A tree fell and broke the stem/trunk of the yew. If it won’t grow taller now I will need to remove it and re plant a new one in the spot.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. In most cases, new leader branches will take over after damage. Likely, it will regrow just fine. It may take a few years, though.

Here is an article for more information on the plant:
