I had a big wind storm blow through last night and took out a main branch of one of my trees, an awesome shade tree .
Do y’all think the tree will the tree survive?
I have read a few threads, but am still a little lost for what to do. I think I should chisel away damaged bark around the perimeter of the wound and maybe paint, or wax, or duct tape, or flex seal, or something all over the exposed wood.
Also, it looks like several branches have fallen through the years above this one; according to the scars (see pics). But now the tree seems lopsided towards the driveway side of it. Might it be weak enough now to fall onto my driveway when the next storm comes?
