Oak Tree Leaking Pyuk!

Katie heard a noise by the Salad Bar and thought I'd left a sprinkler running. This is what she found. Turn up the sound so you can hear it, too. We've never seen anything like it. Any ideas? affraid

I'd like to try to help, but I can't see the video. It says it was removed or I'm not part of the audience it's meant for. Can you make it public?

I couldn't see the page either, since I don't belong to Facepalm, but I looked up the description of that phrase and found this:

Slime flux can be caused by numerous types of bacteria and attacks oaks, maples, poplar, elm, hemlock, mulberry, willow and other tree species. ... This liquid soaks into the trunk of the tree and causes discoloration of the bark and attracts numerous insects, which feed on the flux or slime. There is no remedy for oozing oak tree slime.

I couldn't get it, either. I'll have Katie post it to Youtube later today.

I guess the whole show only lasts a few minutes. By the time I got over there -- about an hour later, there was nothing left but a bubble and a stain.

My research says the tree should get over it without interference. Fingers crossed.

What is that? The slime? I have never seen or heard anything like it ever!

I guess it's not rare, but the show only lasts a few minutes, so if you aren't right there at the right time, all you see is the aftermath, which is just a dark stain.

That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in the plant world! What a Face
