In the recent ice storm that hit Kentucky, I had significant damage to my River Birch (about 40' in height). Of the three main trunks, one snapped in half, and another lost about the top 15'. Many smaller branches were lost.
Can this tree be saved? Should I chain-saw the broken trunks just below where they broke? Should I remove the one trunk entirely?
I've attached a picture. If it didn't work, it can be seen at:
