For prettier trees spray now for galls
Remember the ugly galls on some of the trees and bushes around your home last year. Nearly every species of shade tree has its own gall formed by mites, fly maggots, aphids or related pests. The pest irritates tissue and causes the gall. galls may appear on leaves, buds, twigs or branches. Control is based on esthetic concerns as galls do not reduce vigor. Malathion or Levin at 1 pound actual per 100 gallons water provides protection when leaf buds open in early spring. spray should occur on warm days with buds opening in early-budding varieties when temperatures rise above freezing.
