Also splurge on an organic pillow, the way my wife convinced me, wasshe pointed out you lay on it, breathing in for 6 to 8 hours every night, you don't want to breath in all that toxic shit they put in mattresses and pillows. Sold me. Good luck.

Tough call! My gramps would totally have known what to do, I'm just a dilettante. I'm worried about the tree dying back later from the exposed cut, however you prune. I fear the correct thing to do would be to cut off both sides of the split and put a thick layer of bitumen over the cut area. Leavi...

You're gonna have to prune that tree back. Hard. Modern varieties aren't designed to live without humans keeping them trimmed. Too much weight of fruit without a corresponding increase in structural strength

Oh wow it’s splitting right in the middle. I don’t know if it would work but see if you can prune the lower branches that are pulling it down and then tie the upper branches to salvage it. But the tear is exposed so not sure if the tree can repair itself.
