Get ya Galls out for the boys

[David Humphries]

Thats not a gall thats a leaf roller

 

Au contraire Mr Quercus-Hominid, Both Forest Research & The British Plant Gall Society have it listed as a leaf gall.

 

 

Here you are two galls on sallow leaves. I was reading a book this morning which said there are 92 british galls and 30 of them are found on oak trees.

 

Interesting stats, which Book?

Put that leaf on a white plinth and it would be a work of art in one of Londons finest art galleries that would.
