Hi, we have a mature Jacaranda tree in a backyard on Furman Ave that is at least 40 feet tall. It is on the south side of the lot. The tree is “bleeding” from the upper limbs, dropping wet sap onto the ground. There is also some leakage from the main trunks in areas. Do we watch for the bleeding to stop? Should we make plans to have the tree trimmed back? Have we lost the tree?
James Gill says
Unprecedented event, so we don’t know how much damage. Might as well wait to see where healthy sprouts arise, could be halfway up, more likely all the way back to the ground.
Cornelia says
James,
Thanks. I’ll let you know what happens.

I have two vibernum bushes whose leaves are dark brown/ black, and they smell really bad. Should we trim them down, or are they dead? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
James Gill says
Probably alive somewhere down there, cut back and wait to see where they sprout.
