Galls are abnormal growths produced by plants and trees
as a reaction to an invasion from a foreign body, such as
an insect laying eggs in it.
The galls provide the larvae, which develop inside, with
both food and protection from predators. The photos below show some which you might find.

There are over 1,500 different plant galls found in Britain. The study of plant
galls is known as 'cecidology'
