Gummosis

I just realized that what I was seeing last fall on the base of my grapefruit tree was likely gummosis. I was noticing a balled up piece of sap. I thought something spilled at the base of the tree. Sounds like the tree may have come with it (planted 1 and 1/2 years ago) or I am letting the soil around the tree be too moist, or not keeping the mulch away from the base well enough. What pointers can you all give me for the prevention and treatment of this problem? Thats assuming I still have a grapefruit tree after all this cold weather. Thanks.
