Default [IBC] Winter Snow Damage

Would raffia help in this
situation? Any suggestions short of restyling both trees?

As with human reattachments it is required that the severed portion be alive.
If the entire branch is still alive, you can try using raffia and maybe wire
to bind the wound and possibly achieve healing. But, even if healing takes
place there is likely to be reverse taper where the wound callous over.
