I cut down a two year old oak tree which had died but left a couple of flowering shoots intact which were coming of the base of the trunk. Now there are about 6 of these shoots and they have grown about 8-10 inches and are flourishing.
Will these grow into a new tree(s) or will it just become an oak bush?

I agree with every answer that makes sense.

you can try to grow a tree by selecting one of the sprouts and cutting off the others... however, whatever killed the first tree is likely to get the new ones, as well.....

It sounds like it will be a new tree. This is common.

It will only grow so tall, just bushy but will never grow into a tree....These are water sprouts....SORRY.
