  Plant sap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sap exuding (gummosis) from the stem of a koa tree, probably in response to surface damage
Sap is the fluid carried inside the phloem of a plant, circulating to distribute food and water to various parts of the plant.

 Sap Flow
This fluctuation in air temperature is vital to the flow of sap in sugar maple trees.
This replenishes the sap in the tree, allowing it to flow again during the next warm period.
When the tree is wounded, as when it is tapped by a maple producer, the pressure forces the sap out of the tree.

 SAP COLLECTING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Because sap can flow even when the tree is dormant, the temperature change is essential since it draws water from the trees’ roots through the tree, allowing the sap to flow more easily.
Spiles remain in the tree until the sap season is completed, generally when the sap flow ceases or when sap loses it sugar content.
Sap often is stored in tanks holding the equivalent of two days of good sap flow, or about two to three gallons per tap.

 BMW World - How to Remove Tree Sap
Most people assume this is tree sap, but the real culprit is far more likely to be insect honeydew, excreted by aphids or scale insects that infest the leaves and branches.

 Tree book: ALOFT: Page 24
When growth stops for the winter, contrary to popular belief the tree's sap does not "go down into the roots/' It stays right where it is, stored in every part except the leaves of deciduous (shedding) trees, which wither and break off at the stem ends, where buds remain for new leaves next year.
But as a rule trees have the hardihood to withstand the rigors of their accustomed climate: their sap stays fluid and viable, and is there to restart growth—in many species to put out blossoms—before the new leaves appear.
The greater importance and vulnerability of the downward flow of enriched sap, as contrasted to the upward water flow, are apparent.

 How to Explain Sap Flow
The internal pressure of the tree, when it is greater than the atmospheric pressure, causes the sap to flow out, much the same way blood flows out of a cut.
In this case the positive pressure inside the maple tree is a result of pressure from warming, released gasses, osmotic pressure caused by sugar and other substances in the sap, as well as gravity on the sap higher up in the tree.
Sap flow will continue as long as the pressure inside the tree is greater than the atmospheric pressure outside the tree.

 Cherry tree sap oozing
It is possible that there are peach tree borers damaging the tree at its base and causing the other problems you described.
In that case, the borers may be causing death of the bark higher on the trunk by interrupting the flow of nutrients and water.
Sap will be found oozing at the top of the dying bark.

 Cheyenne Department of Urban Forestry and Cheyenne trees, caring for trees in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Many types of insects that feed on tree sap (sugars produced by the leaves to supply food for the tree) excrete a sticky substance called "honeydew." Sap-feeding insects such as, aphids (which attack most types of trees), leafhoppers, treehoppers, and soft-shelled scale insects are the most common honeydew producers.
This usually equates to weak wooded, unhealthy trees with poorly developed root systems, that succumb to insect and disease attack and struggle to live to one fourth of their possible life span.
Trees and shrubs existing in a stressed condition caused by any one or more of these problems are easy targets for insect and disease attack.

 Whole tree xylem sap flow responses to multiple environmental variables in a wet tropical forest
In order to quantify and characterize the variance in rain-forest tree physiology, whole tree sap flow responses to local environmental conditions were investigated in 10 species of trees with diverse traits at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.
A simple model was developed to predict tree sap flow responses to a synthetic environmental variable generated by a principle components analysis.
The morphological characteristics of the trees significantly affectcd sap flow; taller trees responded to changes in environmental variables sooner than shorter trees and high liana cover buffered tree sap flow responses to weather.

 Tree Sap removal
Removing tree sap from a car's finish is a problem that we deal with on a regular basis.
We've found that by hand-buffing the sap droplets with rubbing alcohol, we're able to remove the sap pretty well because the alcohol acts as a solvent to break up and dissolve it.
For some cars, though, removing the sap can require a good deal of work, especially when there is a large amount of sap, or when it's obvious that the sap has been left on the finish for an extended period of time.

Sangre de grado resin or sap is a storehouse of phytochemicals including proanthocyanidins (antioxidants), simple phenols, diterpenes, phytosterols, and biologically active alkaloids and lignans Scientists have attributed many of the biologically active properties of the sap (especially its wound-healing capacity) to two main "active" constituents: an alkaloid named taspine, and a lignan named dimethylcedrusine.

Our family has a beautiful tree in their back yard that changes with the season and is strong enough for the kids to swing from and provides great shade in the summer.

 TreeHelp.com: Trees: Basics: Trunk
This strong mainstay of the tree begins as a tender stem from which leaves begin to sprout.
The trunk is the body of the tree, which not only supports the crown, but in addition internally channels sap and tree food from one part of the tree to another.
However, the age of cut trees may be determined by counting these layers- called annual growth rings - on the stump.

 Making Maple Syrup in New England also Maple Sugaring
From this gathering tank the sap flows into the sugarhouse through a filter to the "evaporator." Evaporators are large stainless steel pans, varying in size according to the volume of sap arriving daily at the sugarhouse and size of the maple sugaring operation.
As the sap flows along in a constant boil, the water evaporates in the form of steam, and the liquid becomes sweeter and changes to an amber color with the increasing sugar content.
The sweet maple sap becomes maple syrup when the 2% sap, which dripped out of the maple tree into a sap bucket, is condensed by boiling during the evaporation process to the exact density of maple syrup, which is determined using a hydrometer.
