came across this lemon tree today, over 80 years old, with the most incredible gall wasp infestation/damage imaginable. The whole tree was choked with it, I removed the whole top and will encourage new growth and keep an eye on it

it was covered in it, really awful to look at

Holy crap . I've never seen a tree that badly infested.

Did you find it was mainly on the side that gets the most sun?
