Any tree people experts?

Can anyone tell me what this is or how to gett rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

Yeast infection?

Can't help with the tree but, I am a tree people expert. Although, if anyone of them had a similar condition as what's shown I couldn't help there either.

Have you tried googling for known diseases of that tree?

I've googled and googled, nothing that I have found seems to match this affliction.

I just tried my google-foo.

Cytospora canker? ( some info here )

Maybe?

looks like it's about to fruit. Could be anything...

fungi.com has some books that might help.

Although I tend to proof read my posts, it would appear thread titles avoid such scrutiny...

Not scrutiny, just funny.

While the pic isn't too clear it looks like pitch from a pine tree would have in and open wound. If that is a wound then i wouldn't worry about it. If not just cut the branch a couple of inches away from the growth (towards the tree's main trunk for those educated in the public school system) if thsat won't mess up the profile of the tree too much.
