What is this?

[CJD3]

I have a Oak tree that has these "tumors" growing on multiple limbs. Does anyone know what they are?
If its something bad, I'll just drop the whole tree and burn it. Its only about 8-10 inches
around and 25-30 ft tall. The US quarter is for scale.

Google oak bullet gall, its nothing to really worry about.

Thanks Sam!
I was ready to burn the whole tree so it didn't spread.

Now that you have figured that one out, might I add: Suggest to your tree to use protection. NOthing a shot of penicillan won't cure. lmao

lol.
Just being cautious. After my trip to CO. and seeing all the pines dieing due to the beetle

Seen that growing on trees out at our hunting grounds down here last couple years. Never knew what it was either. Thanks Sam.

Half way up my driveway, on your side. That one Oak tucked in w/ the pines.
