A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2005 Spots

The second tree is doing much better. It has narrow pointed leaves that occassionally have spots on them. I've been picking off the spotted leaves as I notice them. Any thoughts on what this might be?

Hi Stig! Welcome to the forum!

I can help you with this one - those red spots are tree galls, which don't necessarily mean there's something wrong with your tree. Basically, bugs make them to lay eggs in. I wasn't sure what kind of tree that was, so I couldn't find more in-depth information for you, but that should get you started. I'm sure someone else will come along that can help more - I'm still a newbie, but have a tree with a zillion galls (on every leaf), which is why I knew what it was!
