I was just finishing off the last of the clean up from the snowstorm, branches and twigs and that stuff, and I noticed that one of the branches of the berry tree out front had snapped but not fallen down. Not wanting to get up on a ladder I just knocked at it with the camp axe 5 or 6 times. I'm afraid it wasn't the cleanest cut, though (pictures below). I've got two questions:
1) Does this not clean cut present a bug/infection risk to the tree? If so, how should I clean it up?
2) Any ideas on what type of tree it is? My hardwood ID skills are a lot better than my decorative berry tree skills...
Thanks!
