A couple weeks back we had a solid windstorm. I was out of town and returned to find the top blown out of this Doug Fir. There are no live branches below the break so I figured I would drop it and add to my wood pile.
As seen from my front yard:

And the close up:

After walking out to the tree I learned that it was sprouted from another tree at the base. Or is this considered 1/2 of a single tree?

So my long winded question is this. If I drop the trunk on the right will it have the potential to introduce rot into the base of the good trunk on the left? If so could I seal the exposed cut with something to protect it?
Sorry if my terminology is all wrong but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say. Thanks!
