Brown Sap

[corbyshaw]

I have one tree that is producing brown sap. Any ideas why or if its any good?

You hit a rotten spot in the tree.

It's probably not sap. It's probably rainwater or snowmelt that came down from an opening above into dead wood. I had one of those this year and looked up and saw a hollow branch stub.

I just noticed the same problem when walking my lines this morning......almost like it has a red tint to it (see pic) definetly not from rain water as they're on lines and from 2 different taps. I was wondering what this was myself.15965
