Default Damaged Dogwood Branch

Hello all,

I have a Dogwood in our backyard, about 20 feet tall. About a week ago, we noticed a branch was split. The tree is showing signs of budding, including the damaged brach. Normally I would remove the damaged branch, but this one comprises about 33% of the tree that faces our yard. As you can see the branch actually split in the middle. I was wondering if I could wrap the split area and pull both sides back together. Would it heal itself? Any other suggestions to possibly keep this branch. Thanks.
