My roommate decided to be a tree trimmer and hacked away a bunch of branches on our cottonwood. A lot of the branches were alive which is a bummer. No idea why they decided it needed a trim, the tree trimming tool has been hidden so no more unnecessary trimming is done lol.

He left a bunch of stubs on the main trunk and some on the branches. Are these stubs ok or should I bring them in a little bit?

Also, any chance this cottonwood will regrow on some of the branches he trimmed? Took out a lot of nice branches with leaves that added some privacy to our backyard. Really bummed they cut them off.

    If you are able to bring them closer without flush cutting it (Google first) that would be better than the stubs
