Would you put some sort of cut paste on this Callous mass now well before frost date?
Still panicked and in need of advice.

Hi David,
Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. My procedure has always been to simply leave the tree packed in moss over the winter (protecting for the winter in a cold frame) and then re-cut in the Spring.
As for the health of the tree, I'd think that as long as you have foliage below the layer, worse case scenario would be that you'd lose the upper portion only.
Best regards,
