I was just cutting down large pine tree in yard and it fell into my
beautiful Oak tree and broke branch....It is maybe 90% broke. can I put
splint of some kind? Any advise appreciated.


Maybe, certainly possible. If the cambium layer is not completely
severed all around, it has a chance. Keep the area clean while it
heals--be very patient it will take some months.

Years, if it makes it.
