    if its a young one its likely best removed properly (the branch) rather than attempt to brace or support it.

    Jimmyq --I have bandaged it in the hope of a sap-seal forming and sap circulation continuing through the intact section of the branch. If this does not appear to happen in a short time, I will remove as suggested. --Thanks from vibat
