Have read advice from everywhere and have made a clean cut across 3 broken branches. I seem to remember reading that by inverting a clean empty tin (like baked beans) over the wound would protect the cut. Additionally I put a handful of horticultural fleece into the base of the tins to act as an insulator. Does this make sense? Would it help? Any branch that is not broken I am not touching with the hope that nature will come to the rescue. Trees are 20 years old and I love them.
