Gallformers ID Notes
“
A small oak apple gall on a bud of Quercus rubra in the fall. Purple with thin but succulent walls when fresh, drying to tan-brown. Never growing much bigger than the bud itself, unlike the similar Amphibolips cookii. Observed fresh in September in New Hampshire and dried out in Michigan in late October.
