Tree Sap From “Gumball Tree”

Question

I have a “gum ball tree” which hangs over my driveway. No place to park my car because of the falling tree sap. When does the trap sap stop running?

Answer 1

Sap normally only runs in spring. If you are seeing a long term dripping of "sap", it is likely not sap but rather aphids. This article will explain more and will help you treat it:
