Assess whether the tree itself or some of its branches are in danger of falling now or in the near future. If the tree is not an immediate danger, you may be able to plant a new tree nearby and wait for it to grow a bit before removing the old tree.<\/p>\n<p>Just because a trunk is split does not necessarily mean the tree will die soon. Large split branches or trunks, which have not broken off the tree, can be braced and possibly saved by an arborist. If limbs have fallen completely off the tree, there is nothing that can be done to save the branch. In either case, the wounded area in the tree will always be a weak spot that is susceptible to disease, rotting and insects.<\/p>\n<p>For trees that just have a few damaged limbs, it is relatively easy to remove small, lower branches with loppers or a pruning saw. Use sharp pruning tools appropriate to the size of the job to ensure a clean, smooth cut. Use hand shears on branches up to one-quarter inch in diameter, loppers on branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter and a pruning saw on branches more than 1-inch thick.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re at it, look for branches that already have broken free and may have left a jagged stump on the trunk. Make a cleaner cut on those branches to help facilitate the growth of natural callus tissue that \u201cseals\u201d the wound.<\/p>\n<p>For larger limbs, or those too far up to reach, hire a certified arborist. An arborist will have the appropriate tools and equipment to safely bring down large or high limbs so that the tree, house or other nearby objects will not be damaged.<\/p>\n<p>In general, pruning sealants or paint are no longer recommended for treating pruning wounds. There is some controversy regarding these products, but generally they have not been shown to be helpful. Additionally, there is some evidence that they interfere with the tree&#8217;s ability to form a protective callus over the wound.<\/p>\n<p>Find more detailed information on pruning in Purdue Extension publication HO-4 &#8220;Pruning Ornamental Trees and Shrubs,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.hort.purdue.edu\/ext\/HO-4.pdf\">http:\/\/www.hort.purdue.edu\/ext\/HO-4.pdf<\/a>.
