Title: oak apples
Post by: Sarah-b on May 02, 2005, 20:57:05
I have mentioned this before, but we have an oak tree which is an actual decendant of the oak tree that was interpreted by the oracle of zeus in Greece. It is suffering with oak apples. Am worried that its first words may be "get these bl**dy things off me!" - does anyone know how I can help it?

thanks,
Sarah.

According to the book, the galls of the oak wasp do very little harm to a mature tree!

But it's only little - just 5 years old in a pot. And it's not looking happy...
