Everything about Oak Apple totally explained
An
oak apple is a mutation of an
oak leaf caused by chemicals injected by the
larvae of certain kinds of
gall wasp. They are so called because the
gall, which can measure up to 5
cm in diameter but is normally only around 2 cm, looks a little like an apple.
European oak apples are caused by the
Biorhiza pallida gall wasp and American oak apples by
Amphibolips confluenta.
Oak apples may be brownish or reddish.
The wasp larva that lives inside oak apples are a good source of bait for fishing, and also are useful as a survival food.
