My daughter found what looked to be an oak apple gall under our Chestnut Oak this morning. My son found another a short time later.

It reminded me of a small red potato in terms of shape, size, and weight. Skin was mottled like the other galls I have found, with a slightly papery, shiny appearance, almost like a red potato skin but waxier and not peeling, and less shiny than other galls as well.

We decided to slice it open and inside found a juicy red flesh with a central pit/seed that is about the size of a BB.

Do galls come in a variety of something other than hollow? If so, I have learned some new things for today.

Thanks!
