Q.What Is This Stuff?

Zone 24014 | Bobbyjones686 added on May 17, 2020 | Answered

Hello all, So about a week or 2 ago I cut some Virginia Creeper that were threatening some large trees on my property. They are now, excreting this off white goo. Its only coming from the root side of the cut vine. (See Picture). Is this poisonous? I have some free roaming animals that seem to be a attractive to it. I don’t allow them to eat or lick it due to my not knowing what it may do to them. Did some searching on Google but couldn’t find anything related. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

So of course after I posted this question... The Vines are Bittersweet, I didnt use herbicide on the stumps. So I guess the Vine is continuing to grow. If any one can share if this goo is harmful or not, please advise. Ill probably cut closer to the ground and kill it with proper herbicide.
