Default [IBC] Trident maple cracked/broken branches

Does
anyone have any other suggestions to "possibly save
these 2 branches or is it hopeless.


If the branches broke completely off, there's really no hope. I
suppose, you MIGHT treat them EXACTLY as you would a graft (which
means you'd have to detach them again, cut the ends correctly,
cut the scion, etc., then seal it, then bind it with grafting
tape, etc.) but at this time of year, I don't see any hope for
that either.

So, start thinking of a redesign. I've had something like that
happen more than once.
