Looking for advice for my pink willow. The main tree I originally bought died and I was about to move it to the graveyard when I noticed a wee leaf. Fast forward a year and I have this. What do I do 🤣

Personally, the main trunk doesn’t appear like anything else is going to shoot off and grow from it currently. You have some nice green growth where that shoot is coming from. If it were me, I would cut back the “trunk”/main stem (don’t cut the green branch off) and see if anything new grew from it being trimmed back. But I’m no expert and haven’t done this myself, so maybe someone else will have a better answer 🫶🏻
