[IBC] Crab apple root gall
Thanks all, especially Nina. I now see that my earlier diagnosis was
incorrect, definitely not crown gall, more like an aphid infestation causing root galls. I am now wondering if there's any link between these and a type of woolly aphids that appear annually on the same apple trees. These orange brown aphids with white fluff emerge from bark swellings near twig tips. They appear to have overwintered beneath the bark. I usually deal with these once a year with a Q tip and meths but they usually return the following year. Reading up on aphids has opened my eyes. Some do live in colonies inside galls. Some in exceptionally large galls. Thankfully these don't occur on apple!
