Spotted strange lumps and bumps on trees at Trentham? 🌳You might be looking at galls! 👀
Galls are unusual growths on trees, shrubs, or fungi — triggered by insects, mites, or fungi setting up camp. The creation of a gall can provide shelter and food to the gall causer, but won’t cause any long term damage to the tree.
Check out some of the weird and wonderful galls found on just one of our amazing oak trees 👇
- Silk button spangle gall – Tiny discs under leaves. One leaf had 288 of them! Made by the asexual Neuroterus numismalis
- Oak artichoke / hop gall – Looks like a flower, but hides a single Andricus foecundatrix larva inside
- Knopper gall – Distorts acorns thanks to the gall wasp Andricus quercuscalicis
Next time you’re here, keep your eyes peeled for these miniature marvels of tree life!

Some of you may have noticed we’ve been preparing a new planting area along the east lakeside, near the otter sculpture. 🌱👀🦦
Following the same approach we are using in the Italian Garden, we’ve added a layer of sand and grit to create a resilient base - helping future planting cope with increasingly dry summers and wetter winters. ☀️🌧️
We’re once again working with Professor Nigel Dunnett in our continued development of the Lakeside Walk. Planting will begin later this year, and will include a mix of herbaceous varieties for dry, shaded, and sunny spots, along with a backdrop of shrubs!
Stay tuned for updates as it comes to life! 🌾
