Good news! You can save your tree! Here's what it sounds like to me:
Bacterial Canker
Canker is caused by two related bacteria. The symptoms on the leaves are similar to those of leaf spot but the two diseases are distinguished by the cankers on trunks, limbs and branches that exude gum during late spring and summer in the case of Bacterial Canker. Spots on the leaves are dark brown, circular to angular, and sometimes surrounded with yellow. Leaves that are on the terminal side of cankers may wilt and die. Lesions on green cherry fruit are brown with an area of wet tissue, as well black depressions may be left on the skin of the fruit. Outbreaks are common following cool wet weather after bloom. Prune out diseased branches in late winter or early spring. The bacteria can be transmitted by pruning tools so these should be disinfected between trees if bacterial canker is present. Spray with a fungicide that contains basic copper sulfate in the fall. However, copper sprays can cause injury to stone fruit.
Or it might be an insect -
Borers
Small holes may appear in the trunk from which a gummy sap oozes. During the growing season some of the leaves and branches may wilt and die, turning brown. Since borers usually attack weakened or stressed trees, it is important to maintain their health with enough water and proper fertilizer. There are two types of borers that affect cherry trees; the Shothole Borer and the Peachtree Borer. The tunnels created by the borers interfere with the flow of water and nutrients within the tree. Keep the tree healthy by watering regularly and applying a fertilizer. The trunk and large branches can be sprayed with an insecticide designed to kill borers, however they can be very difficult to control. Contact a professional arborist.
It appears your tree is possessed by super natural beings...you must chop it down at once before it turns into a zombie tree and attacks!.....sorry ive been up all night watching horror movies.
You have been so kind to the tree its giving you cherry cream filling for your donoghts
this happens with cherry trees when they grow too fast or the bark is damaged physically.. birds or bugs, etc...
Unless the tree heals itself, it is probably a fatal wound. I'm sorry.
I agree with smurf.
