I've got a 7 foot Franklin Cider tree that almost completely snapped. A little over a foot above ground it is broken about halfway through, with a split up the trunk about 4".
Should I wrap the heck out of it like it was a graft and see how it heals? Or cut it below the damage and graft a scion from above? Unfortunately that shoot coming out right below the damage is too horizontal to be a new central leader.
