Neil Sperry: Cut down damaged oak trees before they fall on someone

A major side branch of an oak tree has torn downward, leaving a large vertical wound in the trunk, as observed in photos.
To treat the wound, one should saw away the hanging limb and create a neat cut, removing loose bark and wood.
Foresters state that a tree can best survive damage if it affects only one-fourth or one-third of its circumference.
Wounds should be left untreated without coatings or wrappings to enable natural healing.
