I had a large limb ripped from my Magnolia grandiflora in hurricane Milton.
Will the tree survive such injury? Do I need to use a sealer?
Damage diameter is approximately 12" and 4" deep.
I think I'd cross fingers and hope for the best... trees have been surviving injuries like that ever since there were trees...
I suspect the tree will recover, but will have that big scar for the rest of it's life.
