    You see these formations on all sorts of trees. The official name for the growth is a "gall." According to the dictionary:

    gall (def 3), n, any abnormal vegetable growth or excrescence on plants, caused by various agents, as insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and mechanical injuries.
