I just recently planted a 5-6ft coral bark japanese maple, and a branch coming off one of the leader branch broke. This happened right at the base of the branch. Should I give it a fresh cut or tie it together in hopes that it will grow back together. ( is that even possible?) If I should cut it is there anything I should apply to the cut to enhance its healing? I love this tree and would like to protect our investment in it. Thank You. ..... concerned tree owner |
