I have a seven-year-old beautiful weeping cherry tree that has several open errosions of bleeding reddish sap at the top middle and base of the trunk although at this point the leaves are green and healthy. I don't know if I can do anything to stop this problem. I need some suggestions to hopefully save this tree. The pictures of this tree can be seen by clicking on this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sred...2129&authkey=Gv1sRgCKnewrmx5tHq7gE&feat=email Thank you!
