What causes Bacterial canker?
Bacteria enter through pruning wounds or damaged bark, causing amber-colored sap to ooze from the trunk and branches.

Prune away infected branches well below the oozing sap. Clean your pruning shears with alcohol between every cut.
How to prevent Bacterial canker
Apply a paste of turmeric and water to any pruning cuts or broken branches to seal them organically.
