These are really weird. What is it? It's on my dad's apple trees in East Tennessee.       |

| It looks like gall to me. I lost a couple grape vines to it several years ago: http://www.apsnet.org/edcenter... "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." -Abraham Lincoln |

| http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fa... has an article on crown gall and shows it infecting the branches of an apple tree. "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." -Abraham Lincoln |

| Thank you for this. If it is a gall do you think he should look at treating it, or removing it immediately? He is very concerned about it spreading to his other trees. My instinct is to get rid of it, just to be safe, but I also hate to advise him to kill what might be a treatable tree. What do you think? |
