Gallformers ID Notes
“
Large bullet galls on the stems of Quercus vaseyana. These galls resemble Disholcaspis pruniformis in size and appearance but are unusual for the genus in having a yellow-tan base color covered to varying degrees in spots of darker red-orange. Observed in Texas in May, but likely fresh in the fall and emerging over the winter based on typical habits of this genus in the area.
