Can a tree grow taller once its trunk has been chopped?

Hi,

My heading says it all really. I recently bought a 16" maple bonsai. Originally I intended to grow it to a more substantial size. However, the trunk has already been chopped. So my question is, can a trunk grow any taller once it has been chopped? I'm guessing that I can't, but could members please confirm this for me. If it can't I'm still pleased with the tree, I'll just concerntrate on developing and refining the branches

Best wishes
Stephen
