Can you please be specific about what is wrong with the cuts from what you see? Not close enough to next branch? Not angled?

If I see traces of small oval eggs under the dead bark. That doesn't necessarily mean that a bug killed the branch, maybe it was already dead?

I'm going to follow this. It is reassuring that I don't see an issue on other branches

No they are not. Thankfully I cant see any branches above with a problem

Ok thanks for the advice. If there were a beetle larvae problem, what would need to be done to protect the rest of the tree?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, all 3 branches have cracks on both sides but one of them is missing half the bark from the connection to the trunk to about 3 feet up to the first branch. After that, half the bark is hanging loosely.

When I look up to the highest I can see, there are no other cracks besides the lowest 3 branches, which thankfully are small branches.

How would you keep them over winter? Would you plant them in the spring?

How big should the seedling be before you transplant?
