Has anyone any idea what this is, course of treatment? Iain I've got a cherry tree which has been exuding gum from pruned areas for a number of years with no ill effects. ISTR getting gum on some of the actual plums on a Victoria plum a few years ago, again with no ill effect. However - quote Gummosis is a general, nonspecific condition of stone fruits (peach, nectarine, plum and cherry) in which gum is exuded and deposited on the bark of trees. Gum is produced in response to any type of wound, regardless of whether it is due to insects, mechanical injury or disease. Gummosis most commonly occurs as a result of perennial canker, bacterial canker and the peach tree borer. However, gummosis can also be associated with Botryosphaeria cankers, certain viruses, adverse growing sites, winter damage, herbicide damage and many other factors. quote http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:e...n&ct=clnk&cd=7 If it's only on the one branch then there's probably no cause to worry overmuch. michael adams .... |

It's a response to bark damage - often rubbing, or similar. Unless the damage is major, the treatment is to leave it alone. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
