So we have this honey locust that is about 15 years old. This one branch looks like it is splitting due to the angle it is leaving the trunk. Seems like a possible issue if it gets heavier and I'm a bit worried of it breaking and falling. Can I fix it or should I watch it and just cut it off one day?

Yes, there’s included bark. It’ll always be a weaker attachment, but you can likely save the limb by making some weight reduction cuts.

Feel free to take pics of the limb if you’re unsure where to cut. I’d like to see the before and after pics anyways.

Thanks I'll look into that!
