It's a wild cherry and they get that disease usually but it doesn't kill them.

If this is a wild cherry tree, how come it didn't have blooms in the spring and the berries are small and green?
That is called gummosis.
Did you have a late frost? We did and it really shortened bloom periods for a bunch of trees.

Yes, it's a wild (black) cherry tree. They fruit from June all the way through October, so they might not be ripe in your area, yet. The fruit will eventually start turning red, then very dark (hence the Black Cherry name).
But don't look for cherries like you buy in the store. These will be about the size of a pea...and almost all seed.

And if it drops some branches... don't let your cows eat the leaves.
