What should I do to help my peach tree heal from oozing sap?

To help your peach tree heal from oozing sap, first identify the cause. It's often gummosis, a natural response to stress like borers, canker, or environmental factors. Carefully remove any loose bark around the affected area and clean the wound with a diluted bleach solution (1:9 water to bleach). Ensure proper watering, fertilization, and sunlight to reduce stress. For borers, consider horticultural oils or beneficial nematodes. If canker is present, prune infected branches during dry periods.
