| 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
