Could be insect damage eg borer - look for holes. Could also be stress, trees sometimes do this if they get far to dry and fruit trees like a regular watering.
Trees will also do this to reseal damaged areas eg trunk hit by the lawn mower or 'whipper snipper' damage. Hope this is helpful.

Wow, lots of possible answers depending on where you live, what kind of tree etc. Sometimes sap is flowing because of insect damage. Sometimes sap is coming because the tree has an open wound either from insects, wind damage, woodpecker holes. Try to locate where the sap is coming from and identify the damage you might be dealing with. If you have broken branches, these should be pruned. If this is wood pecker damage, you may be eggs or larvae or insects that are attacking the tree. The woodpecker is generally going after these things for its diet. Best I can give you with so little information.

It indicates injury. In cherries it can be gummosis. Try using winter dormant spray combined with oil spray and they may improve.
