Lost a third of my tree yesterday, most likely due to some neighbor's kids playing in the back. At least they left me the branch. In the picture each square of floor is 1x1 to give you an idea of scale. As you can see it peeled off at the bottom from a 3 inch wedge. Do I need to seal off trunk where the scar is?

I'll let those with more practical knowledge answer the direct question (but I would think the answer is "yes"). As for the branch, that looks like a lot of cuttings that could give you backups to your mother tree.Bryant...Franklin County, VA...Zone 7a. Wish List: a 32 hour day....more sleep

any opening is an opportunity for any number of infections...insect, bacterial, fungal......patch it up...move on
I used to use Grants grafting paste...but it's unavailable...there are any number of materials (pastes) available to seal it up (not a spray).....let it dry off, then apply
DB's right....good opportunity for some cuttings...there's always a silver lining....Ross B. Santa Rosa Calif zone 9b, wish list: CdD Blanc, Igo, Palmata, Sucrette, Morroco, Galicia Negra
