Mike Maas said:The tree will draw stored sugars from the dying limb to set up barriers at the attachment point to the main stem. This takes time. Once the bark is loose, the process is as far along as it needs to be for safe limb removal. Removing a dying limb before this may not kill the tree, or arguably even be bad, it's just not optimal.
