Rising from the dead

This field maple tree up near the viewpoint was damaged by strimmers a couple of years ago.  It hung on to life as best it could but the recent long spell of dry weather finished it off.


Or so I thought.  Since the rain has come I've noticed several new shoots coming up from the roots.  S it is not dead after all.  


It's a sort of natural coppicing.
