Trees do not bleed. I.e., if you put blood on your pancakes this morning.

There is wet wood. I would suggest two books on wetwood of trees. Common
on elms.

Wetwood - Wetwood is a term used for both a disease of wood and for the
wood, altered as a result of the disease.
Wetwood is wood infected by anaerobic bacteria mostly. See "wetwood"

Do not use drain tubes to drain wetwood.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

I also need advice on how to treat this chronic bleeding wound. From what
the past owner said, it bleeds like that every year.
