Well, that's interesting what Steve H writes about the suckers from the
roots. I had my Bali cherry for a number of years, before it died, and
it never made any kind of sprout for me. Before mine died, it did make
some bubbles of gum on the lower 2 feet of the trunk in just a few
spots. I'm not sure if that's usually a sign of a deadly health problem
or not.
When I cut it down, I saved the trunk section thinking I would inspect
it, looking for the cause of death. The bark wouldn't peel off since the
tree was dead, but all the surfaces looked very normal and the visible
wood at the ends looked as if it had been cut from a healthy tree.
