If I had a working drill and a big long bit, I like
the bolting idea, but would wraping a big steal cable
just girdle the tree.

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.
