Observed on multiple, older R. canescens specimens growing on a slope next to gulleys on either side going into our pond. Some specimens were up to 15-20 feet tall. Some galls larger as they progressed into a white frosty texture. Seems to make a flat surface sometimes folding. Found on different specimens 50 feet from each other. Older forest some white oaks and other trees pushing 100 years old. Lots of sycamores, persimmons and tulip poplars nearby. Galls forming on both flower and leaves, with multiple galls forming on one leaf site.
