Weeping cherry tree may be destroyed

Question

A large tree fell on my weeping cherry tree. All that is left is trunk and about 5 limbs that are 1 to 2 feet long. Is there any certain way to trim end of limbs so tree will grow back?

Answer 1

At this point, the only thing I'd recommend is recutting the limb where it's broken. With a smooth end, pathogens and pests will have a more difficult entering limb tissue. You might want to seal the fresh cut with ''tree sealer'' or paint.
