I pollarded our cherry tree last Winter. It has since put out new shoots and
is looking reasonably healthy but today I noticed resin has exuded from a
few places on the trunk. It is hard to the touch - like amber. There are a
couple of pieces as large as a thumb.

Does the tree have a disease? Is it related to the pollarding?

David.

Don't want to worry you, but AIUI cherries are best pruned when in
active growth so that the wounds heal quickly, otherwise there is a
danger of silver leaf disease getting in.

Actually the wounds don't heal. They are quickly sealed by...

an amber like resin
