    Hi, I was wondering, are there any plants that when damaged will/can grow back stronger?

    Answer

    Meepy, good morning. Your question is a little too broad to be able to give you an answer. It would depend on the species, the kind of damage it experiences, and even the time of year the damage happens. Many plants are quite capable of healing back from damage to their aerial and subterranean organs, so long as that damage does not overwhelm their systems. If you have more specific areas of interest with regard to this question, I can try to help further. Best wishes.
