Are Sticky Blossom Casings Normal For The Horse Chestnut?

Question

As the blooms come out my large horse chestnut tree drops a big load of sticky blossom casings. Is this normal, or is there something wrong with the tree?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the issue in question.

Depending on the severity of the stickiness, it could be normal sap release, or it could be insect pest related.
