Rose this is a problem I have encountered and have had success in controlling.

I do not have direct experience with Cherry trees but what you are describing sounds like
it may be bacterial canker:
oozes a heavy gum in spring and fall
leaves wilt and die in summer
Fruit may get infected and has darkened depressions on the skin
There is only one way to cure bacterial canker:
cut out cankers and paint wounds with a 1:1 mix of lime sulfur and white latex paint
after removing each canker disinfect hands and tools in a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 4 parts water)
If an entire limb or shoots are infected and can not be saved than remove them completely and burn them if possible or dispose of them in a sealed black plastic garbage bag... 2 Jan 09 Re: Cherry Tree
