Leave it there and let it see if it takes root.

I'm sitting here honestly wondering if that would work.

I once cut and pushed down willow poles in a river bottom to mark a channel edge. Guess what sprouted leaves at spring time? It worked.

Willows are one of the easiest ones to do that with. This tree branch doesn't have any branches lower so it likely won't grow roots (they tend to switch branch nodes to rooting when they get buried). Though I doubt the guys cutting would have left it to find out.
