I think I have a mess on my hands....

hiram, GA(Zone 7b)

I dug a brug stump out of a yard last month, no idea of color, but no serrations on leaves, assuming not yellow. I put it in a 7-gallon bucket with holes drilled all around the bottom, up to a height of 4". Now it's a growing like crazy, about 12" tall. What do I do with it now. It looks like I might have to do some surgery, and suggestions. Here's some pics. There are over 8 stems growing in this bucket.

Will be waiting to see what this one turns out to be. Sure looking good.

Your plant will make a great bush. Sometimes you just have to grab a clean knife and start in. Depends on what you want it to look like in the end.

It sure loves river sand! You may have started a new trend! LOL Where do I get some!
