Put Tree Trunk Goop on the open wounds to keep them from getting infected or problematic if they are large. Equal parts soft rock phosphate, compost and diatomaceous earth to make a putty-like consistency with water and slap it on there. It should be wet enough to stick. You'll have to put it back on if it rains off but it sure has worked well on my trees. The low hanging branch can be propped up if you want to save the fruit but wherever the branch comes in contact with the support it will likely cause a wound. You will probably have to remove it eventually but sometimes they recover. Rarely, but sometimes.
