New to forum, feeling guilty about what I did to this tree, looking for a prognosis on what I'm pretty sure is a Swamp Chestnut Oak (based on bark and leaf). Was trying to open up an Azalea grove that had been taken over by greenbriar and shade. Like the monkey's from 2001 - A Space Odyssey I discovered a tool and went dumbnuts. Work done March 2nd.
Cut too much (at one time) and took too much collar with the branch on several cuts. 8 branches removed mostly on one side. Is this tree doomed to shock and/or rot? A few photos, one with canopy for perspective. Most of the wounds are about 2in diameter, a couple larger.
