Cherry Leaf – Finger Gall

Q: I have a tree in the back yard that has developed these strange bubbles on its leaves. The entire tree is covered along with the leaves wilting and dropping at a pretty steady rate.
A: It is just finger galls caused by mites.
Control usually not needed because black cherry produces new leaves so readily.
