The dog ate my tree

thankfulheart · 09-29-2014, 07:36 AM

We planted a pear tree a couple months ago and it was doing great! This morning the puppy chewed it off about 14 inches from the ground. It was about 6 feet tall. I know it's probably dead...but wanted to check with people who might know for sure. It's roots are still completely intact. It's probably a silly question.

Every time I look out the window and see the trunk sticking out of the ground I feel sick.

Is it too late in the year to plant another to replace it? We live in Central Indiana.

Oh no!

No help on replacing/replanting but lots of commiseration.
