My Edibles: Nectarine Trees NSW

Nectarine - Seedling from Compost (Seedling) ^6/10

Comments: -

Settled in really happily initially, after a year in a pot. Then, suddenly (and I suspect dog pee, much like a bunch of herbs in the vicinity), it nearly keeled over. Am waiting and seeing if it recovers, but it's not looking very happy at all

I plan to graft some varieties onto it later, but just put it in to establish a root system and get trunk a bit thinker to graft onto

Comments: -

Home to the Wild May fruit fly trap. Attracts lots of honey bees and native sugarbag bees.  Beautiful pink spring blossom.  Fruits prolifically - I need to thin the fruit.  Although this will all be enjoyed by the stunning king parrots.  2010 I an trying mesh bags to protect the fruit from fruit fly and the birds.  Meanwhile the gorgeous King Parrots eat all the unbagged fruit - very green.

So far the mesh bags are working well, although the birds have been pecking at the plums, the nectarines are close to picking.

November 17th - I have just picked the best nectarine I have ever grown.

Comments: -

Tree is nearly 4 yrs old.  Growing and fruiting beautifully.  Planted on mound and mulched (not too close to trunk).  

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pest Control:

Copper spray before leaves appear in late winter.  Fruit fly splash or spray if required.  Monitor with traps.

Question:

Even though tree is looking healthy and fruit is growing well the trunk has started oozing silicone looking gum.  There was no apparent damage to trunk.  Does anybody have any ideas what this could be?
