davidenriqueDescription
This observation is for whatever is causing the deformed leaves on this Alliaria petiolata (prev obs).
I saw a number of Alliaria petiolata with these types of deformed leaves. They were in different places, most of which aren't likely to be sprayed with any kinds of pesticides. I looked pretty carefully, and none of them had any aphids or other apparent causative agents.
(tag: mystery alliaria leaf curl)
