    Hi Arthur, A friend sent me this photo from her property on the Piscataquis River in Howland. We'd appreciate any help you can give on this one. Thanks!

    Answer

    Dear JDE, good morning. This looks like a gall near the summit of the stem, but I don't recognize this gall. I would need more images of the plants stems and leaves to determine who it is--which would then allow us to identify the species causing the gall. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
