Thanks, is there any way to help prevent rot?Thats one of problems with them prone to weak crotch
They're tuff it will probably never be right but may survive many years if that tear doesn't get rot
Try google some say latex paintThanks, is there any way to help prevent rot?

It happened 2 days ago.Try google some say latex paint
Pruning sealer is not recommended by some good resources anymore
Carefully clean up any jagged edges of the bark on the tree so the wound can heal and form repair wood
Think of it like a surgeon cut compared to ripping off a hang nail
How long ago did this happen ?
My normal reply to that question is this:Thanks, is there any way to help prevent rot?

Thanks.The tree's natural response to wounding is triggered by exposure to oxygen. If you seal that off now on the living tissue, you will slow the trees natural response. If you feel you must cover it with something wait at least several months to do that.
I would remove the tree. But if you insist on keeping it I would just leave it open and clean up the wound like @Woodanhor described
Thanks.I would give it a chance, it had included bark on the tight crotch which had already healed halfway down the break. As previous comments mention, clean up the jagged bits and let nationsure take its course, good luck!
