About Elm Gall
Small, rounded growths called galls often appear on elm leaves in Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, caused by tiny eriophyid mites. These galls distort leaf tissue but rarely cause serious harm to mature trees. Monitoring and maintaining tree health can help minimize these unsightly but mostly harmless infestations.
