• Bleeding canker is an infection of the bark of several trees by a number of different species of the fungus-like (Oomycete) micro-organism Phytophthora, causing the affected bark to bleed a dark sticky fluid.

• The bacterial wetwood will cause cracks in the wood of the tree where sap starts oozing out. The running sap seeps out of the cracks slowly and will flow down the bark, robbing the tree of nutrients. When you see a tree bleeding sap, you know there is a problem, and most likely it is bacterial wetwood.
