If a side branch is affected, I cut it. If it is the main trunk, I treat it 
with Bordeaux mixture, a sulphur based fongicide.
I may be wrong but I am under the impression that suckers are more resistant 
than the original tree...
The fertility of the soil has a lot to do with disease susceptibility. I 
find that a cherry tree growing in poor sandy acidic soil is more likely to 
get gummosis than a cherry tree growing in better balanced soil full of 
nutrients...
Maybe someone can tell us what is the ideal soil for Evans cherry?

The Evans cherry tree that keeps trying to die on me has had gummosis. What 
am I supposed to do about that?

Around here I've never seen gummosis on any of my cherries but a lot
of failed peach varieties that I've planted (and have subsequently
died) have had it....
