I have what we call around here a hackberry. Recently a storm came through and caused it to split and fall. It was rotten at the base where the tree grew in two different directions. I cut and removed the half that fell, what I want to know now is what to do to keep the remaining half healthy and give it the best shot possible to survive. See the pictures below. The one with the man and kid in it is the best one I could find of it from the same direction before the storm. It was from 2014.
