My Cilician Fir (Abies cilicica) is oozing from the trunk where there used to be branches. Is it normal? Picture shows this.

This is probably due to cutting off the branches while the sap is rising, and that job is best done in the winter months. Your tree will probably be ok, and the best thing to do with it is nothing. It is best to let the air get to it now and let it sort itself out. Wrapping it up or painting it with stuff is a bad idea.
