    Responding to Rob Hamilton's request about saving his loquat tree, I had
a similar thing happen to one of my best maple sap producing maple trees.
It had three main top branches.  A storm broke one off and the remaining two
were split apart 6' down the trunk.  I winched the two together as tight as
possible to close the gap between them.  Then I wrapped a 3/8" steel cable
around the two securing the ends with (two) cable clamps.  Wherever there
was a still open gap, I sprayed it full using spray foam.  It worked.
