Weekend Gardener advises using galvanized rods to brace weak crotches at the University of Rhode Island. Install just above the union, bore precise holes, coat bolts with asphaltum for a water tight seal, and use washers to aid healing. If extra support is needed higher up, add galvanized cable to large screw eyes kept snug.
