A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Citrus, Avocado and Tropical Fruit Kumquat is Oozing Clear Sticky Fluid

and it is depositing it on nearby furniture. Is this normal, or symptomatic of something? Thanks.

Welcome, John. Do check closely for small insects. Different types drop a sweet substance called honeydew. And I am not sure if citrus is among the plants that will emit sap on its own. But many trees do when the conditions are ripe for it; temps mostly. I would either move the plant or the furniture away from it and also lay something out around it to protect from whatever it is dropping.
Good luck!

Thanks for your help, Tina!
