If it were mine, I would cut it off and let it grow a new shoot. However, the other option is: get a long straight stick--place it where the crack is--get a length of strong twine--tie the twine at one end to hold the stick to the branch--TIGHTLY wind the twine around the stick and the branch, as though you were setting a broken bone, which in a way you are--when you get to the other end of the stick, tie the end. Leave this on for a year or two. The bigger the branch, the longer it will take to heal.
Reply:Consult a tree surgeon.
Reply:Prune the broken branch. Cut at an angle, dip in rooting hormone and plunk in dirt....grow a new bush! Or you can root it in water. Either way you get a new plant.
Reply:You could make like a diamond cut in one branch and make a similar inverted cut in the other and fit them together. Afterwards put cloth tape around it. That may work.
Reply:sorry to say but branch has to be removed
Reply:If it's a rip, just prune the "hangnail" part, otherwise, nothing.
