Come to think of it, Roxann & Bev, there are some kind of borers in the bark of my live oak with the wasp galls. I only know this because porcupines come and eat the bark off the branches of these particular oaks and someone said they were after borers. Until I heard this I could not understand why they would risk altercations with our dogs when there are plenty of other oaks on the property where there are no dogs. But I don't think there are as many galls on those.

Are your exactly like mine? If so, you're the first! The galls I have are under a white oak.
That is an interesting thought about the wasps. Those borers are a problem here, too.

We have these around our red oak trees. I wonder if they're related some how to the red oak borers that are causing such problems. maybe the wasp who makes the galls also preys on them? supposedly the borers are more of a problem in dry areas.
