Don't use tape or twine, as it may girdle the tree. In April, remove the wrap so insects or diseases aren't tempted to move in. An easy way to remember... wrap by Thanksgiving and unwrap by Easter. For information on the care and maintenance of trees, visit the eXtension website: Trees and Shrubs.
Pruning After Lightning Strikes. Aside from providing proper care to your lightning-struck tree, you should also prune damaged branches. However, while broken branches typically need immediate removal, you should wait at least two months before pruning in the case of lightning-struck trees. This gives you time to determine whether the tree is bound for recovery or not; there's no point in pruning a tree that will die in a few days or months from lightning damage. An exception is if the branches are dangerous, such as if they're at risk of falling on someone or causing further damage.
