I had to cut the blossom off my 10 DAP fruit as it would not stop weeping. Obviously, it continues to ooze liquid like a firehose now that I have cut it. Any suggestions? Is there any hope for this one? Anyone had to snap a blossom off so early?

Have you been using any fans to keep it dry?

Swap the end with vaseline..it dont take much but will stop leakage and act as a fungal also used it several times last year on mains,,if it leaks thru in spots just add more

The 50/50 sulfer/calcium hydroxide mix seems to stop bleeding and should be antiseptic. Chemically its just the ingredients for gypsum, mildly irritating ingredients but non toxic, I think.
