You need what is called, "tree wound dressing". It is a black asphalt based product which will seal the open cut area. Any garden center should have it or go online @ Amazon or EBAY.

It would have been the closest limb to the ground, about six feet up and the scar(limb stump)is about 18" in diameter - It was a big branch. It has been healing sort-of over the years. I found carpenter ants in the scar. I was able to kill them with Tempo.
