Is a tree limb breaking a chemical or physical change?

It is a physical change: the wood (mostly cellulose) is not changed by the breaking. However, the living cells (if any) in the branch will begin to change chemically when exposed to the air and cut off from the xylem and phloem in the rest of the tree. Eventually the cells will die and the wood will rot (chemical changes).
