Call me sensitive but I feel awful, I had a eucalyptus i bought
originally as a
shrub and it grew 10ft tall, it was shading my
neighbour's garden so we decided
to cut it down as the leaves were too
high for me to reach and use anyway. So
we cut it down between us, I
loved the way the truck was formed so I decided to
cut it down and use
the trunk as a bird table, I have just been up the garden
and she is
bleeding, no I mean it she is really bleeding! red sticky "blood" is
oozing out and its running down the stump, now I feel terrible, she is
up there
bleeding to death and I don't know what to do Im thinking
maybe if I stop it,
she can start to sprout out of the sides and I can
keep her low and manageable.
can anyone help. pleeease.

Oh Charlie, how dreadful. I've had a look in my RHS Pruning and Training
guide and there's nothing at all on sap loss. In your place, I think I
would dry it as much as possible and use a wound paint. I'm not
underestimating how much it's bleeding, but I think the only thing you can
do is stauch the flow, either completely or just slow it down. If it slows
down, it may start to coagulate.
Good luck with it.

Tiss not me with the tree, I suspect all you can do having cut it at the
wrong time is wait and hope
