Question

Do I cut the new stem away and plant it or should I cut away the dead tree leaving the new stem on the base of the trunk thanks

Answer 1

Your tree is grafted at the top to create this standard tree. The branch growing from below the graft line will not be a Weeping Pussy Willow, most likely.

I would check with the garden center that you purchased the tree from; most reputable growers will guarantee a new tree for 1 year.
