Alright folks, let's play name that infestation!
Host: Bur Oak
Pest History: Gall of some sort
Current Evidence: Masses of fish-egg-like growths on the underside of many leaves. They are lined up along the main vein, massed on top of each other in a bunch.
I will post pics shortly, once I get out there with my digital, but I thought some folks could make guesses.
Is this how Horned Gall gets started? I have only seen the late stages of HG infestation.
Once the pest has been ID'ed, my next question will be:
What should be done? Should the infested leaves be removed?
Thanks,
ETA: Thought at first the Pest History was Horned Gall, but upon further review, there are no spikes on the gall.
