Description: Galls are abnormal swollen growths on trees caused by fungi, bacteria, or insects like gall wasps and aphids. While usually cosmetic, heavy gall populations indicate tree stress; improving overall tree health by removing soil from trunk flares and following the organic program reduces gall formation.
