Tree Disease/Parasite Identification - What do I do?

[gritz]

Hello, I have a parasite or disease of some sort covering all the leaves of one of my trees. Can anyone tell me what it is and what my options are to get rid of it. I don't want it infecting any of my other trees or dying either. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Leaf galls...absolutely harmless. You can sleep tonight


Keep an eye out for aphids or mites that could be the cause and treat accordingly.

Hackberry nipple gall to be more specific.

Okay. Cool. Thanks for all your help! Glad it's nothing serious. Just looks pretty bad.

The look will grow on you. Just remember the critters that cause dthe galls are very beneficial to your landscape.
