Bladder gall is a frustrating problem for any property owner, but our team can help address it.
When you look at your trees, do the leaves and limbs look healthy? Or have you noticed evidence of any type of disease? During the spring, certain types of maples are particularly susceptible to an issue called bladder gall. The result is clusters of growths or warts, which can be pink or green in colour. When tiny mites feed on the young leaves of the maple tree, the surfaces become irritated. The result is a gall, which contains a cavity where the mites can live. Since the gall protects the microscopic creatures, they can continue to feed on the leaves.
