There Is Sap Coming Out Of My Tree, What Should I Do?

5/8/2019

 
PictureThe best kind of sap
Envision this. You’re walking through your fabulously maintain lawn on a beautiful summer day, and you want to rest against a tree to absorb everything. It’s a beautiful feeling of being one with nature until something sticky drops on your shoulder. Sap dripping from trees is a natural thing, but the chances are that it’s not one that you enjoy. You are like, “Sap coming out of my tree. What am I to do?” Here’s your answer.

What Is Sap?

When you have something as big as a mature tree, it takes lots of work to evenly spread the nutrients, water, and hormones necessary for survival. Every tree makes sap to some degree, but some stand apart when it comes to producing sap. One standout here is a maple tree. Sap from sugar maples is the central element in maple syrup.

Why Should I Get Rid of Sap?

This question is misleading. If you care about your tree, you shouldn't want to stop sap production. This is a vital part of your tree remaining healthy, similar to the importance of blood for the human body. Though like blood, sap is supposed to remain on the inside. As said before, certain trees are more likely to drip sap like honey locusts, elms, and maples.

In terms of why sap drips from a tree, it can differ. The usual reasons are similar to the causes of tree problems. These are pests, diseases, and excessive tree trimming. 

How to Halt a Tree from Dripping Sap

If you have a tree that is always dripping sap, you want to take extreme care in terms of when you trim it, being sure to do it in the right season. If your problems are from other sources, in many cases, elevating your tree care regimen will aid with your sap problems too.

For instance, try to reduce tree stress to be sure that insects don’t feed on the trees and create sap leakage. Sap can come from numerous sources, and the right professional tree service will help you deal with all of them.
