Expect to fail - any success here is against the odds. Typical approach to "hardwood cuttings" is to get them into soil and let them overwinter, so they have an opportunity to get roots out before the …

Death. The tree has been beetled to death, or beetles have come and munched on it after it died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_beetle

There are some trees which, in suitable conditions and with suitable nutrition/water, can grow very fast. … They can serve a useful purpose in a landscape plan by giving what they give (quick tall tree) and then being ruthlessly removed as other, slower-growing trees grow to plan. …

Pick the best 3 (or so) shoots, cut the rest of the "ton" of shoots, repeat cutting of new shoots every few weeks until it gets the idea. If you want a single trunk, remove the worst/weakest of the 3 …

Option A; they are dead (don't go too hasty on this option, it might be wrong) Option B; they know, or think they know, something about your "mild winter" that you don't, and are biding their time, h …

Yes, they are tent caterpillars. No, you really don't need to burn them. Just rip the tent open and the birds should take care of the caterpillars, without their protective tent. https://www.rivercar …

Wait. The trunk is heathy and green, so the tree is apparently alive. You can't do much for it putting out leaves other than wait for it to do that, so do that. If it doesn't do that, at some poin …
