I was hoping for some feedback on steps to take to attempt mending a cracked branch. The tree in question is a Spartan Juniper. While making some adjustments yesterday I cracked the front most branch of what forms my apex on the tree. it was not completely severe and is still roughly fifty percent attached. I haven't cracked a branch in a long time so I suppose hubris is to blame.
So far, I have the branch still wired, I applied some cut paste around the wound and wrapped the site with raffia (soaked). However, I've seen it suggested to just use super glue. So, my question is, should I just stick with what I've done or go back in and just apply glue. I realize there's a decent chance this break just became a deadwood feature but I think there's a reasonable chance it can be saved. Any feedback or other methods will be appreciated, thank you.
