Babies this age can focus on shapes that are close by, but see distant objects as blurry because they are nearsighted. As babies grow, eyesight improves. By the end of 3 months, they can follow a moving object, are more interested in shapes and patterns, and can spot familiar faces, even at a distance. Human faces are one of their favorite things to look at, especially their own or a parent's face.
Watch out for cracks, cankers, and holes. Cankers are lesions on the branches and trunk of the tree, often circular or oval, with a sunken center and raised edges. Deep splits through the bark are also signs of possible tree failure. Be on the lookout for sap seepage, whether from a wound or other area of the tree. Sap seepage can be an indication of a bacterial infection within the tree, or damage being done to the tree by insects or birds.
Gummosis is the oozing of sap from wounds or cankers on fruit trees. Gummosis can result from environmental stress, mechanical injury, or disease and insect infestation.Cytospora canker or Valsa canker, the fungal cause of gummosis, affects stone fruit trees like apricot, cherry, peach, and plum.ozing sap or gummosis at the base of a cherry tree (Prunus), cause unknown; gummosis from borers would be mixed with frass. The thick, gummy or jellylike sap oozing from the trunk of this cherry tree (Prunus) is only a symptom, called gummosis, not a cause.
