    We had a tree service in and while they were throwing down large fir limbs , they clipped the top leader of my fern leaf maple and knocked it off just a hair above the intersection with the lower horizontal branch. That lower limb is still sturdy and stable.
    The place where the leader broke off is about a 1" diameter.
    It will it grow another leader won't it?
    Do I need to do anything apart from murdering the tree guy? ( But then again, the Russian lace vine in the firs almost did him in....)
    Thanks, Jane

    It's will recover quite well.. even without killing the tree service guy.
