Tree limb repair and support #880844

Asked August 09, 2024, 1:40 PM EDT

Hi, I have a flowering Crabapple (I believe). It had 2 limbs damaged by the snow storm in March. I used wound dressing and grafting tape to bring them back together. They are alive but the tape has had to be re enforced. What is a more permaanent solution. Also, a limb that was vertical is now horizontal. Can you suggest someone who can help me? Thank you
