will a baby tree regrow after being weedwhacked/eaten on the top?

so I planted a baby willow oak on april 9th, and she was growing pretty nicely. she had started to grow a few leaves, and i was really happy with her. but last sunday I checked on her and the top 1/4 inch was clean off, leaves and all. my mom said it was probably a rabbit, but I think it was the weedwhacking team being cruel. my mom refuses to cancel the weedwhacking treatment, despite the fact that they never whack any weeds.

either way, she (my baby) now has a tomato fence around her and is surrounded by petunias.

will she recover? how can i help her recover faster?

Yes she will be okay! If it's only some parts on top I recommend regular watering and fertilizer twice a week if applicable. If your tree is in any kind of pot make sure to change it as it grows to avoid problems with the roots

she's in the ground. there used to be a tree with pink blossoms in early spring and the occasional cherry-looking fruits, but it got really damaged in a bunch of storms so it died and we had to remove it.

what should i name my daughter?

Quote from dummi
