Is the sap on mesquite trees an infection?
Question:If so how do you treat it? Will it eventually kill the tree?
Answers:
Sometimes mesquites also ooze sap in response to overpruning. Be sure you never remove more than 25 percent of the living foliage (branches/leaves) in any year. The best time to prune desert trees (mesquite, palo verde, acacia, etc.) is in May as they recover more quickly at this time.
Follow lazygardens advice on the watering and you won't need to prune as often. Your tree will grow more slowly and have stronger branches.
not an infection but an injury it will be fine if left alone , it's a healing process and it's normal , just leave it be , i love Mesquite and I'm grilling with it right now up in Canada , it's imported lol
