The bottom 5-8 feet of my oak trees look like someone covered them with maple syrup. It is a slick covering and smells sweet. Oozes from tree. What is it and will this cure it?

Three or four years ago the maple tree in our front yard looked as if it was crying: long streaks of sap were running down the trunk all over the place. I asked a tree expert about it and was told that it was nothing to worry about. It was spring, the sap was just beginning to travel up the trunk, and anywhere there happened to be an opening in the bark the sap was oozing out. I have no idea if that is what's going on with your oak tree. But before you go spraying it with anything, I would definitely find someone to ask about it. Go to your local agricultural extension agent and see if they can help you. (Our tree is in perfect shape today, by the way. No harm done.)

I use this for lawn fungus. I don't believe it will cure your problem. Go to the biggest nursery in your area and ask them to reccomend something. They will probably be familiar with your situation.

I don't think this is supposed to be used to make a syrup. It is similar to pure vanilla extract for flavoring in baking. The quality is very good. Perhaps you could try pure maple syrup??

I would ask a foot doctor about that. Fungal infections require special treatment, for example. The soak with Tea Tree feels good, smells great, and is healing in many ways, but for real answers, ask a foot doctor and have a professional diagnosis.

It's a clear liquid, a little oily. Squirt it on a damp cloth and polish furniture & wood. Then wipe again with a dry cloth. It makes the wood beautiful.

Let it cure for at least 2 weeks.if you have done this in the winter keep the room warm.Do not cut anything on the surface or allow any standing water and it will be fine

i dont think it would do much good as the laquer has sealed the wood.I think it would just smear as it couldnt soak in.

Lemon oil. Do NOT use on unfinished maple fretboards. Other than that, it's a trade secret.

I sprayed with a pump sprayer and did the best I could do, especially the lower affected leaves. It did work. My cousin told me about it. Then the darn frost got them before they ripened.

Wait. I'm not sure what finish ours is. I would not call it autumn maple so maybe ours is a different finish.

I would make a fure,if that is still possible, get the wood hot, then pour a couple scoops of Rutland,over the hot coals. The heat activates the chemical. You may have to build a couple of fires, until that creosote turns brown, then it is dried out

In short - Yes it is. Bonide Captan will, control to eradicate, anthracnose regardless of what tree it happens to effect as long as you follow the instructions on the bottle. I hope this helps.

It smells like honey/bee's wax. The smell is not strong. I don' t know if it would mask the unpleasant odor you are describing.

To remove tree sap I use an inexpensive hand sanitizer. Just ten minutes ago I used Purell (any brand will do) on years old sap, and it came off in a few seconds, and without any elbow-grease. I complete the job with my preferred car wax over the spot. No muss, no fuss!

Scrape the peeling paint sample, I collected dust from above the door jam. I tried to go as close to the smell as possible. Mine turned out to be the mulch outside my apartment door, that was pushed up against the house, under the window where I smelled mold strongest. But if you have wet drywall, depending on where it is, you should check your caulking around windows, doors etc. Get a plumber in and have them look for a leak.

My bottle doesn't say, but is basically a liquid that allows it to pour and to stick to the tree when diluted.

My guess would be that this would just smear around on anything waterproof. It's basically like a balm and it soaks into the wood.

Unfinished. I bought the maple for my grandson. I wanted it unfinished so that we could just treat it with beeswax. You may be able to get it finished. You might email the owner to ask. I needed to email him about something and he was very responsive.
