Horned Oak Gall

I removed this from the small tree tonight, hoping to stave off
a bigger infection on our large Pin Oak. The whitish, translucent
shapes are the wasp larvae.

Here it is intact: http://www.pbase.com/image/135405599

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow, interesting stuff. I also looked it up. Hope removing it solves the problem. It would be a shame to lose a large tree to this. Great information and photo. V

Yes, hope all well with your trees Carl - nothing worse than seeing dead or dying trees in the countryside...

Interesting. Hope you stave off the effect.

Fascinating image. I had to look this up to learn what it was, and the damage it can cause to oak trees. "V"
