Oak apple

Oak galls on a Pyrenean oak (*Quercus pyrenaica*) in León, Spain.

An oak apple or oak gall is a large, round, vaguely apple-like gall commonly found on many species of oak. Oak apples range in size from 2 to 4 centimetres (1 to 2 in) in diameter and are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae.^[1]
