The Mystery Solved!

     I have recently done some research with Ms. Lord on the mystery of the weeping tree. A lady by the name of Brenda Dahlfors gave an answer on a website called Ask Extension. She called the condition of a weeping tree, Wetwood. This condition is caused by a type of bacteria entering wounds in a tree. This condition often occurs in trees such as elms, poplars, cottonwoods, oaks, and maples. The condition itself does not greatly alter the strength or health of the tree. Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas are the types of bacteria often associated with wetwood. There are no effective ways to mange wetwood, but like I said before it doesn't greatly alter the tree's strength or health. After doing this research on the weeping tree it is nice to finally understand what exactly is going on, and that there is not something seriously wrong with the weeping tree. Thanks to Ms. Lord for her help on finding an answer!
