Cherry tree canker?

This pic is of a different area of the tree and seems unrelated to what's going on the first pic.

 

Monkey-boys missus here guys! Wondering if this is either a fungal or bacterial canker? Its a cherry which seems to have more than one issue going on!

There isn't any gum present. Is there any way to tell?

Research nectria canker, might help

The cherry I just removed from my garden had a ten foot what looked like a rip up it looks similar to the first picture.... It's logged up out the back now

Nectria canker seems to be consonant with apple and pear Eugene. No mention is made of cherry on my research on this. However I do wonder if this is a fungal canker as opposed to a bacterial one.

I am thinking that the orange bleeding down in the 2nd pic is caused by slime flux. This is on the other side of the main stem than the canker so could well be unrelated. The tree has a few issues and thee pics are just 2 of them.

The branch canker is a perennial 'target' canker by the looks of it; if the scar tissue on the edge is sound, these are often low risk.

 

The orange in the 2nd pic looks like good response growth; is there oozing?
