Have a Norfolk Island Pine that is about 10ft high with a trunk of
1.75" here in Bay Area of Northern California.
The tree seems to be healthy with lots of new growth.
So, the issue is that there is a fair amount of sap that oozes from
the side if the trunk that gets the greatest amount of sun exposure.
Not so much in the winter but in the summer it seems to be more
prevalent.
Tried covering the trunk with a screen in the summer and that seems to
help.
Is this something that I should be concerned about???

Thanks,

Joe
