As you can see from the photo, my juvenile Golden Nugget Mango tree is oozing this ugly orange sap from several places. The tree took it the hardest out of all my mango trees after the few cold snaps we had this winter. Would this have anything to do with it? Is this something to be concerned about? Tree looks worse than frozen dog sh*t now.

Tree looks worse than frozen dog sh*t now. Not really. Just the two cold snaps near 39F. There is some new flush coming out now, so that’s a positive sign but otherwise it’s a crispy treeDefinitely concerning. Looks to be on the decline. Did it incur any drought stress or flooding?
Freeze damage. Cut it back and it will grow out ok.
Looks like Gummosis.
I have had similar issues in the past with potted mangos and heavy rains. The overwatering was probably the main issue but they most likely had some micronutrient deficiency as well. How much water have you been giving them?
Abiu is a major PITA but it is also one of the best fruits known to man. I will continue murdering them until they submit or I end up living on the streets from buying too many seeds and plants and not paying my bills.
Same problem on my Lemon Zest. I saw several spots that looked like brownish red bubbles appearing to be sap. We had temps in the upper 20s for several nights. Not a single green leaf on them currently but scratching the bark reveals green. Spray it with neem?
