Congratulations on your find! Do you think it was stump regrowth or a seedling? If a seedling, I wonder if there was a surviving mother tree nearby?
I assumed from an old root system. I didn't explore enough to see if a larger mother tree was around. I will do this in two weeks. I can't next weekend, but the following I'm free. It's a long ass hike, but I remember where this is, plus GPS on the photo 😅
