I have just purchase a new home on 2 acres of land. The trees were very neglected and now I need some advice on one particular water oak that is near the driveway. Ive posted 3 pictures of whats going on. The branch and right side trunk are growing together and there is an old nub just above it that is in the mix also. Do I cut the branch off and pull it out of the tree trunk or has it grown together too. 
much and just best to leave it alone.
