I enjoyed this video more than I have any other in a long time. Very informative and answered exactly what I wanted it to. Thank you Sir. You got a new subscriber!
I know nothing about peach trees, or gumosis, or cycospora. ... Well, I didn't until now. A lot of well presented information, good common sense and practical advice.
Super informative! Best video I’ve watched trying to figure out a solution to my gumosis problem with my tree that just fruited this year! 4 years old in September
I bought a house 6 month's ago with a lot of fruit tree's. Just finished my pruning. Lot's of dead branches and even tree's on the property which I didn't know. One Plum tree in particular was really bad with only one scaffold still alive. Most other Plum tree's are dead. The Cherry tree doesn't look well either. Thanks for the in-depth explanation, much appreciated 👍
Super helpful video! My pluot tree has horrible gummosis all over the trunk. Super bad. I love that tree! It looks like it won’t be long for this world....
I wish I knew this stuff before a good chunk of my tree showed gumosis. I'm going to wait for days of dry weather to see if we can cut the branches but a lot of branches are just encased in the gum. Hopefully the tree survives the peaches were so delicious! We were so surprised when we came across them in our backyard (bought this house two years ago).
I have a Frost Peach w it on one of the main branches just off the trunk. I either need to cut the whole tree just before the branches and hope that new shoots come up or try to treat it and hope it out grows it. And we’re just getting into rainy fall here in PNW Washington state. The tree is only 4 or so years old just in ground two years now. Any advice other than mentioned above? Thanks, Jon
By far the most informative video in youtube on tree health. Thank you for the information. Is it true that if you remove the gummosis and use a torch to burn for a few seconds would help? I have 3 cherry trees with multiple wounds on the trunk.
Glad the video was helpful. I have heard about lightly burning the infected area but I’ve never tried it so I can’t honestly say how effective it would be.
this was the second year i had my cherry tree in the ground, it doubled in height and was looking like a champ.. then i noticed this soft gluey sap in various spots on the lower trunk.. i just left it, had jelly like crap at the base of my peach tree, sprayed it off a couple times and put some more dirt at the base of the tree and that seems to have stopped.. but then i noticed the cherry trees leaves started turning brown and dying off when we had that dry heat spell this summer.. so i started thinking, man this sap might have something to do with some infestation or something.. havent seen any noticable creatures or holes as of yet.. i guerss ill try to clean this sap off so i can make sure theres no holes.. i had pruned some small branches off the base the previous year, but im hoping it was just from that heat, and it will come out like a champ again next spring
The reason there are very valid arguments on both sides is because there are a ton of variables involved. I don’t like using paint or caulk or anything that creates a heavy “layer” above the wound. I will sometimes use oils or waxes to help repel moisture but still allow some breathability. I have a video out that goes into a bit of detail on the subject. m.ua-cam.com/video/XZCo5X5tEn0/v-deo.html
@@healthyhorticulture thank you 🙏 so much for your response. Please Keep on making your videos. I love them and how informative they are. The sap is clear and on the tip on the new growth and couldn’t find any information on it, but your are a peach tree angel! I’ll definitely look into it. Looking forward to more of your videos. I love how you explained how trees defended themselves. Ok, I’m done-lol. You’re great! Ok, I’m really done.
If the gummosis caused by an insect or disease issue I would keep an eye on any other stone fruits for possible infection like cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricot and plum.
Thank you for sharing your great knowledge

Thank You Dal, that was my goal when I made this video.

Best video out there on fruit tree gummosis.
Hopefully it was helpful

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You the man…
Another Great video!! It did help alot!! Thanks again!!
Thank you for such important information. Great Job !!

I thought I knew it all. Obviously not. Great video and explanation.
Thank you! This helped a lot.
Master class!!! Thank you !!!❤

Great video thank you
I really believe I'v got peach tree borer on my plum tree. Do I clean it out and spray copper in it?
You heard of the JADAM Korean Organic farming method? Number of videos on You Tube.

The leaves of my plum tree with gummosis are all withered - they look sick! pitiful!
Is it too late to save it??
I found sawdust and gumosis around 10-12 inch tall at the trunk. How to treat it on my apricot tree?
Do you think pruning paint/paste is useful? I've heard arguments on both sides of it.
The reason there are very valid arguments on both sides is because there are a ton of variables involved. I don’t like using paint or caulk or anything that creates a heavy “layer” above the wound. I will sometimes use oils or waxes to help repel moisture but still allow some breathability.

What about if the sap is clear and it on the top of the new growth of peach tree?
You might be dealing with an insect called oriental fruit moth.

What do you use for white washing your fruit trees? Do you make your own or commercial one?
I don’t whitewash my trees, maybe it’s a location thing (I’m in northern CT) but I just don’t find it really necessary up here.
Is gumosis contagious? Can my other trees catch this from a tree that already shows the effects of gumosis?
If the gummosis caused by an insect or disease issue I would keep an eye on any other stone fruits for possible infection like cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricot and plum.
Oh crap! I just pruned 6 hours in the rain. At least it was cold.
