Question From: FLORIDA
Q: What causes small brown hard pods to form on pecan leaves? What can be done about it?
A: The bumps on the pecan tree leaves are actually galls caused by the leaf's response to small insects called pecan phylloxeras. Google how to control pecan leaf gall for more information about this problem. There is nothing to be done this year, but do keep the tree well watered. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
