Just looking for some opinions on how to remove this branch that fell. Sorry for the terrible pic [angle]. I'll get a better one if needed. I already removed the part blocking the street. It is now resting on the ground. I have three options:
a. Cut the part that split at the very top
b. Cut off near the trunk.
c. Keep bucking pieces off at the left and see if it eventually breaks. I assume it won't break on its own.
The question is basically the same for both pieces. The one indicated in red is smaller, but much higher up.
If possible I would like this branch to regrow if at all possible. Independant of how to actually make the cut, is there advantage to leaving the large branches, or just lopping off near the trunk?
Since I know it will come up, I'm learning to climb [recreationally]. I'll go up on a nearby tree with a manual saw to cut up top.
