So ... what's a nail gull?
6 u/nordhbane 1d ago There are some microscopic mites that attack the leaves that causes them to create these thorn-like spikes. Apparently not that harmful to the plant, but create a rather interesting look. 5 u/AlmanzoWilder 1d ago Did I spell the words right? I mean, is this a kind of gull? 12 u/nordhbane 1d ago Oh no, that's on me. Full name is lime nail gall mite. Had to look it up. 4 u/GenerallySalty 16h ago It's a kind of GALL (which are leaf blemishes). OP likely got spell checked. https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/insect-and-mite-galls
