I have a tree that is splitting where it branches out. It's really windy here. Our house is on a hill and is surrounded by open fields so it gets quite windy here with little to break the wind. Becky and I actually started to call or place "Windhill". Anyhow, if the tree splits we'll end up loosing it and it's too pretty to loose. So I went out today and drilled a 3/4 inch hole through where it's splitting and put a galvanized threaded rod through through the split and tightened it up. I couldn't draw it completely together, but got it close for now. At least it'll strengthen it somewhat. I'm hoping it'll eventually grow back together.
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on repairing a tree? Seriously!
