Is sap oozing from the trunk and branches normal? or is it a sign of a disease or over watering?

Please post pictures.  We would have to see what you are referring to before providing any type of diagnosis.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Here's two of my trees showing a little bit of sap oozing out of the main trunk. This started in the middle of summer. The trees are growing fine. Flushing new leaves right now too.

What varieties are they?

From exterior sight, looks similar to gummosis.  There are some other diseases that can cause this.  Do any of the limbs have any die back?

one is Lemon zest and the other is coconut cream. No die back from both trees yet. How can it be treated?

Will spraying copper fungicide on the oozing area be enough?  Or should i spray the entire tree?

It does look kind of serious--- probably a bacterial infection..  I suggest trying Copper spray on the bark(wear eye protection), alternated with Potassium Phosphite (such as Foliar Phosphite, K-Phite, Plant Doctor), each once a month, through early Spring.

If the oozing still occurs next Spring or Summer, give up on the friendly stuff, and use one or more conventional systemic fungicides / bactericides, and remove all fruit as they appear.

Last year, there were a few locations where PPK/Lemon Meringue trees had a bleeding sap issues on more mature trees.  These trees had a good amount of bleeding and some exhibited dieback and massive leaf drop on certain limbs.  On one tree in Broward County, samples were cut and sent to TREC in Miami for analysis (I have pictures of the cut samples should anyone want to see them).  Below you will find the report.



They also recommended applications of MycoStim and Exel LG Foliar Fertilizer.

In another location in Palm Beach County, the tree was sprayed with fungicide and fertilized and otherwise let be, it came back and flushed and did not have any further detrimental damage.

Could this also be the result of an injury at the bleed site, for example, sun burn or delayed response to cold damage?

Thanks for the responses guys! It helps a lot. I'll try spraying them with some copper fungicide that I have and continue my foliar feeding. I hope they recover from this. After reading that report, it doesn't seem promising since they recommend pruning instead of fungicides. I can't really cut back my trees at those points on where they're bleeding from since those are the main trunk/stems.

Should I scrape the sap off the trunks and then spray with fungicide? Or should i leave the sap on the trees?

I think what caused this is from the stress of high temperatures since we had some pretty hot weeks this past summer. Over 115f days on end.

bsbullie, thank you for that report!

I have seen this on one side of a 'Haden' mango in Jupiter.   The stress was provided by a strong strap that was used to right the tree after Hurricane Wilma, and left there until it had almost entirely girdled the main trunk.

dear all,

I recently received pictures of a consignment of mango showing these symptoms. While my initial reaction was bacterial spot, I am wondering if this was more fungal in origin.

does anyone have any ideas?

regards,
Mp.

Where were the mangoes grown and what variety?   Is there any damage to the tree/leaves?  It doesn't look like the damage goes that deep i to the fruit.  Bacterial Blac Spot will caise open lesions, oozing from the lesions and the damage will go deep into the flesh.

hi,

Thank you for the reply.... This is Egyptian Keitt, and sea freighted into Europe.


I am not sure about the field that this was grown in, as we are only seeing the harvested fruit. As this fruit ripens these lesions do tend to create decay further into the flesh.

With Bacterial Black Spot, the damage occurs while fruit is on the tree.  In another thread, i pisted an excellent publication on Bacterial Black Spot that explains it and has detailed pictures.   I have also seen it first hsnd here in Florida.   It us very contagious,  even after fruit is harvested.  If you do a search you should be able to find my post.

I might have just figured out the problem with my mango trees. Quite a bit of the new leaves that have been flushing are very deformed, stunted, and just the wrong color. All of that including the oozing sap that I posted above a few weeks ago. So I searched on google and found that Boron deficiency causes this to mango trees and so does gummosis!

Here's a snippet from the source:

https://books.google.com/books?id=oloEhPYqE8QC&pg=PA423&lpg=PA423&dq=boron+deficient+mango&source=bl&ots=no_0smVQ4Z&sig=yhsD_UtMlDYGUwKz1fYtipl2dtY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CGYQ6AEwC2oVChMIh_v81J7ryAIVVuZjCh1O3ARH#v=onepage&q=boron%20deficient%20mango&f=false



It's too bad that's all there is available in that preview of that book on the subject, it gets cut off at the bottom there.

So how does one remedy boron deficiency? is there a product you guys use for this?

You can sprinkle some borax around the dripline of the tree and then water it in. Be careful though not to use too much because then you will be dealing with B toxicity. Roach killing powders are usually made of Borax. You can find them at a dollar store around here!  8)

No, do not recommend this.  Using a quality Palm fertilizer and if need be supplement with a liquid minor boost and you should have what you need in terms of boron.  Nutrient deficiency is the problem when using all purpose or fertilizers just not meant for the growing conditions.

yeah I'm not going to mess with Borax. I've been using Espoma's Citrus-tone on my mangoes and also Southern AG's Citrus nutritional spray, which both apparently do not have boron. I found another product by Southern AG that I'll use next time.

It's called 'Essential Minor Elements' in granular form and CONTAINS: Magnesium 8%, Manganese 2%, Iron 5%, Sulfur 8%, Copper .25%, Zinc 0.5%, Boron .03%.

Do you think I should wait until spring to apply it in the soil?

Reace it with a Juliette if you want the Julie flavor and characteristics.   Julies are known to be problem childs in the State of Florida.   I also would not want to be spraying my tree every week with copper.

I'm getting the exact same issue with my potted Glenn as Onelia, it's been trying to send new growth for several months and they all get this spotting and shrivel and fall.
Anthracnose?

By the way anyone wants to take this Glenn and Mallika  (in the background) off my hands message me. The Mallika is full of scale. .I have a pretty small yard and there are just no sunny spots left, maybe that's why these two are struggling, so they gotta go but I'll rather see if someone wants them before making them mulch.  They're gonna need some TLC...but both have fruited well before especially the Glenn which has produced at least a dozen or so fruits every year for the past 4. Both around 6 ft high and wide, the Glenn's been trimmed back several times.....

can anyone help me diagnose this problem? the panicles on my rosigold are all wilted including old and new growth. it flowered while in the ground and was growing healthy and everything wilted overnight. we had 30 mph winds the other night and temperatures in the upper 40s. it also rained before the temperature drop. i really don't know what to do to bring it back to life.
