Nectarine Tree Sap

I have a 3-year old nectarine tree that is now starting to ooze sap. Does that mean that it is starting to die? Can anything be done? We live in a redwood forest and the tree receives somewhat limited sun. It fruited really well the first year. Last year we got no fruit. The trunk is about 4 inches. I appreciate you taking the time to help.

It sounds like you could have a peach borer problem. This article will help determine if this is indeed the problem and how to fix it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-borer.htm ^[1] Another possibility may be peach canker (which can affect any stone fruit tree). This needs to be addressed, but should not need any chemicals to treat it. Here is more info that will help: https://extension.psu.edu/plants/gardening/fphg/stone/diseases/cytospora-canker-of-stone-fruits ^[2]
