What are these small balls on my tree #829088

Asked May 08, 2023, 9:49 PM EDT

I noticed tons of these little ball things on my tree and they are dripping some fluid. What are these and do I need to treat the tree. We moved into this house 4 months ago. I think it is an ornamental Cherry.

Greetings, 

It looks to be Lecanium scale insects.  Click here for a fact sheet on it. https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef430
