Cracked Branch on Live Oak #870663

Asked May 29, 2024, 8:30 PM EDT

I have a Live Oak that in the storms of late a branch has split.  It is still connected So I'm wondering if it can be saved or if you can recommend an arborist up in Spring TX that we can work with on it.  I've attached a couple of photos.  If it's best to just cut it out we can have that done.  It will take a third of the front away if cut out.
