Does anyone happen to know why this sap has formed and what it might mean?

dead branches are not counted and can be removed at any time. This is probably advisable because they could be harboring diseases or fungi.
great tip. thank you!
if there are a lot of them and removing them will expose the trunk to a lot of extra sunlight there may be extra steps needed to protect the bark, particularly if you are in a hot climate.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by "hot." The worst it gets is perhaps 34 C / 93 F.
I would also look for any extension or other local resources to see if there are any common diseases of this tree in your area
great great idea.
Thank you for everything else. I feel like I have a lot to work with now.
What a wealth of info. Thank you!
If/when you end up removing it remove the weight past the live branch to reduce or prevent any extra bark damage Do you mean to say that only the dead limb beyond that which fused should be removed?
I was going to post a new question about this fusion. I was wondering if it should remain and how much, or... perhaps removing it entirely? If the latter, this would expose the live limbs flesh in a what I presume to be a negative manner. That them made me wonder if there was some sort of gum or salve to apply to allow it to heal and prevent problems like disease.
If anything, resterilize your knife and make small, delicate incisions just above each bud to promote their growth. The small wound will cause the growth hormone (auxin) to pool at the buds, giving them a boost this season. The additional growth should help you determine whether they’re from above or below the graft, and you can make a decision about them during their next dormant period.
This is really interesting. I will want to look into a bit more, but it sounds like it could really help. Thank you!
Thanks for this. It led me down a rabbit trails of education. There's an inner desire growing for gardening and tree tending that seems to have just come out of nowhere. I hope I can do well by this tree and many others on my property.
Thanks you for your responses. I really appreciate it.
I also just saw this. What a travesty.
Putin addressed the warnings a couple weeks later, criticizing the warning three days ago as "provocative."
Per TASS, the Russian president said on March 19 the aim of "the recent provocative statements of a number of official Western structures about the possibility of terrorist attacks in Russia" was harming Russian society.
"All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society," Putin said, according to state media reporting on his remarks.
Future humanity, if you even exist, please have mercy on us when you look back at this age. 😮💨
Doesn't say much good about a person's god if Donald Trump is their envoy. Of all the people god could send, they chose him... 😏
May all pussies--man, woman, and every gender--be fortunate enough to experience the grab of his glorious, tiny, and orange hand.
Amen.

I remember seeing this warning and then nothing coming out of. It seemed so vague and strange. The atrocities never end. 😖
I wonder what Washington shared with Moscow and how the Kremlin chose to act or not act on that information...
If your particular cherry sets small fruits after flowering, remove all the fruit as they appear. This will keep the tree in vegetative growth rather than fruit growth, and you can prune the better-performing side to allow the stunted side to catch up some.
This is WAY cool. I've never heard of this, but I can easily follow the logic. Any science behind how beneficial this is towards vegetative growth? Are we talking a nominal increase or something much more significant like 25% or 50% increase? I honestly don't know how much energy goes into fruit production.
You're wish is my command!
Here is a photo of the bare side:
Here is the same photo marked up with RED being dead, GREEN being healthy, and BLUE circle marking where the dead branch and a healthy branch touch and merged. If I took all the dead RED branch back to the trunk, I wouldn't know what to do with the part that fused to the healthy GREEN branch. In the photo, it looks like the dead branch (on top) is touching healthy branch (underneath), but they actually have perhaps a cm of space. However, that dead branch split and a sub-branch went underneath the healthy branch and fused along the way.
From opposite side of the previous photo, i wanted to show the fusion. Here is the original:
And here is the same, but marked up:
As for buds on what I call healthy vs unhealthy, here you are:
Previously, I though there was no new grow towards the sparse side, but I was VERY happy to see new growth in that direction. Although, I am worried it the two lower one may be too low considering it's a graft? Perhaps they are fine.
Please do let me know if other photos would be of help. As you might have guessed, I really do want to do right by this tree. The pollinators are loving it and I'd like to do better by them also!
~~Chris~~, would you elaborate more on this experience?
