It sounds like it could be peach tree borer or lesser peach tree borer. I went 4 rounds with those nasty things, finally just gave up! Here is your states recommendations: http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/pub568.htm

i had that problem happen to an apricot (manchurian)...lots of sap...sticky thick gunk...i cut the tree down---the whole inside of the tree was all rotten...i waited to long to cure it...maybe if its earlier enough you can still kill whatever is in there!
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will check them out. Hopefully I won't have to cut it down, but I will just have to wait and see. Thanks again for the input.
