Question From: West Nyack, New York, United States
Q: I have a pussy willow tree it is Leaking slot of SAP and I it attracting a lot of bees. Why is this???? It has never done this before but
A: Your willow shrub may have slime flux, a bacterial disease. The sap has a high sugar content and attracts bees. My research indicates it it not curable, but keeping the shrub watered and fertilized will help. You could send samples in to your country extension for a more accurate diagnosis.
