Live oak tree with little balls on the bottom of the leaves and when they fall they resemble burrs can anybody tell them what this is?
The little balls on the bottom of live oak leaves that resemble burrs are most likely galls, which are abnormal growths caused by various insects or mites. Galls can vary in appearance and are triggered by the plant's response to the insect's saliva or larvae. While galls are generally harmless to the tree, they can be unsightly.
Where can you find oak galls?
Oak galls can be found on oak trees, where they form as a result of certain insects, such as gall wasps, laying their eggs in the tree's tissue. These galls typically appear as round, swollen growths on the leaves, stems, or branches of the oak. Oak galls can be found in various regions where oak trees grow, including forests, parks, and urban areas. The specific types of galls may vary depending on the species of oak and the type of insect involved.
What causes leaf gall on azaleas?
Leaf gall on azaleas is primarily caused by a type of gall-forming insect, such as the azalea leaf gall midge (Asphondylia spp.). These insects lay eggs in the leaves, and as the larvae develop, they stimulate abnormal growth, resulting in swollen, distorted leaf structures known as galls. Environmental stressors, such as excessive moisture or nutrient imbalances, can also contribute to the occurrence of galls. While galls can be unsightly, they typically do not harm the overall health of the azalea.

Growths on leaves?
Leaves are under continuous attack by insects, viruses, mold, and fungus. Many of these can cause growths. Many things that look like growths may be cleverly disguised insect eggs, or shape-changing insects in camouflaged cocoons. Some growths on leaves are caused by chemicals emitted by an insect. This causes the leaf to grow a little lump of leaf cells, making a safe spot to protect the insect's eggs.

The primary pest that causes galls to develop on corn plants is the corn leaf aphid (Rhopalosiphum maidis), which can induce galls through its feeding behavior. Additionally, the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) can also lead to gall formation as it lays eggs in the plant tissues, causing abnormal growth. These galls can weaken the plant and reduce its overall yield.
