All,
I have a small, white pine tree in my yard about 10' high. *Back in
early spring, while it was still cold, my son climbed into the tree to
retrieve a toy lodged at the top, and in doing so, broke off the whole
top section (about 2'). *Snapped right through the top of the "trunk"
so cleanly that it looks like it was nearly cut off. *The break is
right above a small set of limbs, and I was advised to bend-and-secure
one of the limbs into an upright position, so it will take on as a
"leader".

Does this sound right? *I am completely ignorant as to the best way to
fix this, and your suggestions are welcome.

Thank you greatly,
Chris

you can try but often it fails, the fact its a realtively small young
tree helps a lot
