................ and the branch is glued back together. It really is as simple as that!
The superglue glues the woody parts of the branch together very tightly and
supports the branch while the wound (and cambium layer) heals. Eventually both
sides of the snapped branch grow together; this can take as little as 3 or 4 weeks
on vigorous branches during the growing season.
I find that the repair is so strong that the branch can be manipulated (wired
into position) within 5 minutes of the repair being made. The repair site will
have lost its elasticity though, so do not try to create a bend at that point.
Any excess superglue will dry a white colour on the surrounding bark. It is
unsightly so try to avoid using too much superglue when making your repair but

any excess will fall away naturally after a few months.
Finally, always keep some superglue to hand. If you do a lot of wiring you
will find it becomes a valuable tool!
Superglue is not poisonous to a tree and will not harm the tree or the branch,
nor will spilt superglue damage any leaves (it just looks awful).
There is no need to wrap or protect the glued area on branches of less than
