I have a little weeping cherry tree that was planted in the spring around May 2009. I just noticed a hazle colored sap coming out of the tree at the base. What is that and what can I do to save it if it has a disease?
Cultural control: Control insects and fungus diseases. In large cankers, cut away all dead tissue until a sound surface is exposed. Treat the wound with a reliable disinfectant. Follow cultural practices that produce a firm, stocky, moderate growth rather than a forced growth of soft wood. Prevent trunk injury when possible. Winter injury can be prevented by shielding or whitewashing trunks http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/disease.cfm?RecordID=281
