Question pruning citrus

Recently I had to prune an orange tree back pretty severely - It's about 15 years old and had grown into the power lines.
I know citrus trees can be kinda wimpy...is there any kind of fungicide treatment etc. that should be applied to the cuts? The largest are about 2" in diameter.

No - let the cuts/wounds heal on their own. Research has shown this superior to coating cut branch wounds, which was standard practice by arborists decades ago.

Appreciate the reply, I was hoping for a second opinion to confirm - my nursery guy had the same advice as you.
I will let them be!

FWIW, I've heard the same from multiple people
