| Can someone help me? We bought our home 2 ½ years ago on a lovely wooded acre lot. This year one of our smaller trees (the leaves look like it's some kind of Hickory) has this ghastly "red galls" on 95% of the tree’s leaves. I am not able to post an actual photo of our tree – so I'll try to discribe it: The "galls" look like (human) skin tags - LOTS of them on each leaf - and RED! YUCK!
Please, anyone, can you tell me what’s happening – what WILL happen – will our tree survive – and will it spread to other trees, what can we do about it or IF we should do anything? Thanks for ANY help. P.S. I found a photo that looks just like my problem on a college website - but I am not suppose to post that address??? |

| I wonder if your leaf problem looks like any shown on this site: http://www.hsu.edu/content.aspx?id=2151 I haven't found anything about how to treat it. Maybe you should take a sample to your local county extension agent. |

| Yes! So I am not going crazy? Thank you! I think I will take a sample to someone local for advice. Although, thanks to you, I think I found a name for the problem "Eriophyes tiliae: Mite" Here's another photo that looks like it: Thank you for you help, Wishful! |
