New growth coming up from pecan stump

Body
Dear Neil: We need some help identifying and controlling this wild growth. It originated where we had a nonproducing pecan cut to the ground last winter. It came up in the spring, and has grown more rapidly than anything we have ever seen. Should we dig it up and trash it, or will it turn into something desirable?
