Introduction

Plant galls are unnatural growths of plant-based tissue induced by invading organisms for which the invader gains benefit. Any size plant can be galled as can all plant parts. They come in a variety of shapes and colours, but most are small in size.

​

Summary

The survey resulted in the finding of twenty-one gall types induced by twenty species. 

​

Method

The plant galls survey consisted of a visual inspection of host plants present in Big Wood looking for the sign of plant galls on plant parts known to be galled. For accuracy, a comprehensive identification book was used.
