I have a 60-80 year old huge weeping willow tree in my yard...a huge branch about 10 feet from the ground (36 inches in diameter) broke off recently and i noticed rot in the center of the branch perhaps caused by some bug (there were insect holes)...i cut the branch to the trunk but there is a hole from the rot/insect still in the center of the freshly cut limb--flush to the trunk....my question is should i dig all the rot out as far as i can go...and plug the hole with something like cement...i'm concerned that the bug or rot may now attack the trunk of the tree even further.....right now i have tared the end....what should i do? also the tree is probably 60 feet from my house...it's probably 100-120 feet tall.
