Too bad, Adam,

Did you split a branch or break it clean off? If it was broken off, it'd done-for. 100% guaranteed dead. If it merely split or cracked, there is a possibility that it can be saved. Treat the break liberally with white glue. Drying out is the chief danger, and the glue will help to keep the surfaces airtight until the tree decides on its own whether it will be able route enough moisture through the available xylem until begins to heal.

In any case you will know in 1 month or sooner.

Regards,

Matt
