Subject: [NAFEX] What is this on this peach tree?

Hi,
I wonder if someone could tell me what's wrong with this peach tree. It is
a "White Princess" peach I've had for about 3 years. There is a red growth
on some of the leaves. Can you tell from the pictures if it is bacterial or
fungal? Also, I don't know if it's related, but there are some vertical
lines in the trunk that exude gum. This spring I noticed some loose bark
and cut it away and found these vertical lines partially healed. I sprayed
this tree with copper last winter.
